What can you do with GPS on a laptop ? I know it used to be a thing back in the day, but what's the main use case?

- vetinari 8y agoDepends on what do you do with the computer. Some of my colleagues need location out in the field for GIS/WFM purposes.
- bubblethink 8y agoI mean your cell phone's location from which you would otherwise tether the connection would be close enough. I guess no one has written an app to convey that information. The other use case of gps could be a good source of time if you have no network connectivity.
- vetinari 8y agoIn theory yes, but nobody has bothered to write it. It is much easier to sell it as hardware, than software.
