The Noteworthy Global Positioning System kit brings technology leadership to personal navigation. NavCard is the worlds first GPS receiver in PCMCIA Type II format. The card is easy to install and uses mapping software that converts satellite data to tell you where you are.
The Global Positioning System is a constellation of 24 satellites, designed to provide accurate position information in terms of latitude and longitude. Your time zone determines which satellites your Noteworthy card will use. The GPS navigation software maps your exact location, and displays it on your notebook computer screen. The software operates in the Microsoft Windows environment.
The Noteworthy GPS PC Card helps business travelers stay on course by mapping their route. Mobile professionals can electronically find an address, trace a route, or determine their position and speed.
