Here it comes … a real Maptor gadget.

So, Maptor is a combination of map and projector, that can project the appropriate map onto any surface, even your hand and other people faces.

Maptor comes with on-board GPS that provides a “you are here” arrow pointing to your current location. The gadget is small and light and according to its manufacturers made of environmentally friendly materials.

Sad to say it, but Maptor is only a concept for now. Hope, it will hit the market soon.

The following invention has not only made our lives easier, it has successfully revolutionized the way people travel and drive. We can discuss advantages of GPS technology the whole day long, but I will simply put a couple of them:

  • You can easily forget about maps, since satellite navigation systems can store endless amounts of data and they are always here to show it;
  • Safer roads. Gone are the days when drivers were constantly struggling with maps trying their best to find the needed road. Relax, a pleasant voice will provide you with exact instructions;
  • Money saving. Only GPS systems can optimize your route and help you to reduce the amount of petrol consumed;
  • Convenience. I guess the following point doesn’t need any comments.

And now the last and the hottest point … GPS technology can be used in one more way … And this way is mysterious and dangerous since most of you even can’t imagine how powerful this technology is …
