2. Yes, some advantages are: Reserve a Seat, Check In Early and Obtain a Guarantee or an
Alternative If you lose your seat on one flight.
3. There are several advantages of GPS at present and in contrast to that there are
some disadvantages also. Some of them are:
Advantages of GPS:
GPS is extremely easy to navigate as it tells you to the direction for each turns you
take or you have to take to reach to your destination.
GPS works in all weather so you need not to worry of the climate as in other
navigating devices.
The GPS costs you very low in comparison other navigation systems.
The most attractive feature of this system is its100% coverage on the planet.
It also helps you to search the nearby restaurants, hotels and gas stations and is
very useful for a new place.
Disadvantages of GPS:
Sometimes the GPS may fail due to certain reasons and in that case you need to
carry a backup map and directions.
If you are using GPS on a battery operated device, there may be a battery failure
and you may need a external power supply which is not always possible.
Sometimes the GPS signals are not accurate due to some obstacles to the signals
such as buildings, trees and sometimes by extreme atmospheric conditions such as
geomagnetic storms.
4. I prefer GPS Systems, because GPS gives you a position, in terms of altitude
and longitude and height, system to suit user needs.
