If you have a Web-enabled cell phone or PDA, you can receive instant street maps of your current location with a subscription software package from Handmark. This service for people who don't have GPS receivers returns precise maps based on street and city queries that you send wirelessly. You can also get up-to-the-minute news, weather (with live radar maps), sports, stock prices, directories, and movie times and ticket purchases. The street maps can help you avoid having to ask for directions; but aside from that, the service's unlimited directory assistance (with reverse directories as well) more than justifies the $70 yearly subscription. For $30 a year, you can obtain just mapping and directory assistance.

Global Positioning Systems offer everything from hole overviews to Internet access "Shortgrass Technologies' Internet-based sports information system and financial ticker enables golfers to check college football scores on a Saturday afternoon or the price of stocks any weekday. Global positioning systems can track golf cars no matter where they are on the course, thus discovering bottlenecks and slower play. Golfers can order beverages and food en route to the turn, so golf clubs can offer more than a quick hot dog - a higher priced chicken sandwich, for instance...."
I always thought that GPS would go mainstream in automobiles first, and in a way I suppose it has, but maybe golfers will lead the real charge. I could have used a portable, library-centered GPS system myself to navigate the Chicago Public Library's Harold Washington Library when I was there last fall!
