While relatively new technology, GPS, short for Global Positioning System, can be found in a variety of items and devices we use in our everyday lives.  Some new cars include GPS technology on the dashboard, allowing drivers to find their way easier around unfamiliar areas (and we all know most men don't like to ask for directions). GPS can even be found on the golf carts on some of his favorite golf courses, telling him precisely how far he is away from the pin. A GPS receiver is a neat little toy that would make a unique addition to his repertoire of gadgets, and while it won't necessarily allow you to keep constant tabs on him, it may create a new, exciting hobby for him.

GPS is a navigation system enabled by a series of satellites that allows those with GPS receivers to find their way around via latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. As previously mentioned, GPS receivers can be found in some car models or on some golf courses, allowing drivers (of both kinds!) to know exactly where they are and where they are going. However, you don't have to go buy him a new car on get him on an exclusive golf course to get him closer to this hot technology. Hand-held GPS receivers are available on the market at affordable prices, and while his car may not be enabled with GPS technology, many of the smaller GPS models easily can be used in the car.

Giving him a GPS receiver may even turn him on to an interesting hobby called geocaching. Geocaching is essentially a high-tech treasure hunt in which "players" with GPS receivers look for hidden "treasures" (usually inexpensive) according to latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates posted online at a variety of geocaching websites. Many players find this new game rather exhilarating and addictive, and while the hidden treasures at the end of the rainbow don't carry much value, the "thrill of the chase" is what keeps bringing people back to the game.

It doesn't take a GPS receiver to find a great gift for your man, but a GPS receiver is neat toy itself that is sitting right under your nose. Your search is over!
