1.1 GPS-tracking
Can GPS-technology change the world? Probably it is not the
technology itself, but unforeseen applications of the technology,
which enables new features, offers new methods for research,
enables collection of new types of information, or results in improving
collection by up scaling the number of respondents and
duration of collection. The application of new methods might
lead to innovative or better insights, or validate current expectations.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) was originally developed
for orientation (knowing where you are) and navigation (knowing
were to go). Today, providing Location Based Services
(LBS) is an important feature of GPS. Nevertheless, GPS can
also be used for collecting spatio-temporal data by retrieving
the sequence of positioning data in space and time saved on a
GPS device. In this case the GPS device is used as a data logger.
This is called GPS-tracking (Spek et al, 2008).
