Sala ProSat launches GPS device
Sala Geo Information Systems Pvt Ltd (Sala GIS), a subsidiary of Sala
Enterprises, launched Sala ProSat, a GPS Navigation System.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a US space-based radio
navigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and
timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. GPS
provides accurate location and time information for an unlimited number
of people in all weather, day and night, anywhere in the world.
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the
signals sent by the GPS satellites high above the Earth.
Managing Director of Sala GIS Chinthaka Wijewickrama said, "Our main
intention is to take advantage of Sri Lanka's post-war economic boom
including the projected massive development in the tourism sector. We
are confident that the introduction of this GPS Navigation System will
not only be of immense benefit to a very large cross section of users,
but will be a national asset and greatly enhance the country's image in
the region".
Some of the advantages and benefits, Sri Lanka could achieve by using
the Sala ProSat GPS Navigation System, Wijewickrama said that it helps
one find and navigate any address in Sri Lanka. It also provides turn by
turn guidance for travelling to any place along a shortest or fastest
route. The user will thus save fuel and time to a greater extent and
thereby an overall saving of national resources.
It has over 100,000 important landmarks and points of interest such
as Fuel Stations, ATMs, Banks, Hospitals, Hotels, Parks and Police
Stations. It tells you your exact location and easily helps you find
places you want to go to, without anyone's assistance.
"We're parallelly targeting the massive boom expected in the tourism
sector", he said.
