Just ten short years ago, a basic GPS system cost about $2,500, and had to be professionally installed. GPS reception was spotty, and, by today's standards, functionality was primitive at best.

Today, a self-contained, portable GPS complete with maps and preloaded with millions of points of interest costs well under $100. Maybe progress does come cheap after all?
