    Are you caught up speeding or do you forget the red traffic signal light? Well in the high speed zones if we get a companion guiding us that we are much above the speed limit or that we are about to approach the traffic alert zone, it would definitely be a great relief. Cheetah GPS Mirror is one such device that alerts us in such situations. It can do it with its internal data base of these camera locations and speed limits.

    A new GPS receiver module called GSD4t from the house of CSR Inc., the root company of SiRF Technology Holdings was announced today. Incorporating the SiRFstarIV architecture with SiRFaware, the GPS receiver uses least battery power to locate places in a jiffy.
