10th Anniversary of GPS's Nonmilitary Expansion

Finding restaurants. Mapping hiking trails. Geo-tagging photos. Playing location-based social-media games. Tracking lost pets. What don't we use GPS for these days?

Car-navigation device makers TomTom and Garmin have since become billion-dollar-plus companies, and GPS-related apps are now a bazillion times more prevalent. Where to from here? We're recalculating. -- ERICA WESTLY
