Following guide offers a light introduction to GPS as it relates to locating and mapping products with the intention to assist our sales and support personnel in confidently communicating with end users, potential customers and our own in-house developers. Think of it as a “get by in GPS” quick course (just like you don’t need to be a chef to cook a basic meal, you don’t need to be an expert to understand the basics of GPS). When meeting with customers a little knowledge and background will go a long way, so please take the time to read and understand the basics (plus some advanced content for those so inclined).
