Picture Yourself There is a new blog from the Navpix GPS people, which marries their GPS camera navigation technology with a useful and interesting diary of interesting locations that you can visit using your Navman GPS system. Yes it’s a shameless marketing ploy to get people to buy Navman products, but if it gets traction it could actually turn out to be quite a valuable place to find new locations to visit on your travels.
The idea is that the blog features interesting locations, you click on the link to download location image and GPS co-ordinates, which you upload to your Navman and bingo, you’re ready to navigate there without any maps or further hassle. I still think they should open source a basic version of the software so that a bigger community starts using this tech in earnest. But what do I know?
Picture Yourself There is all about locations. Beautiful, fascinating, educational or just plain curious. Use Picture Yourself There to give you ideas for minibreaks and day trips, or for things to see and do when you’re looking to brighten your day: restaurants, exhibitions, farmers’ markets, great gigs, theme parks, haunted houses, secret gardens… every day we’ll be letting you know about something, somewhere that you just have to see. But Picture Yourself There is not just about telling you where to go – we can tell you how to get there too. Use NavPix technology, and you can be directed straight to any location on the blog with a single click…
