hi and assalamualaikum.
today i would like to share with you about another one element in MIS750 which iS
L-Commerce.
and again i will explain it based on my own experiences so that it will be applied.
ok, first of all, before this, i have been explain about E-commerce.
so, what does it means by L-commerce for this time?
does it relate to our life?
once again, mr. wikipedia comes handy.
according to www.wikipedia.org :
"L-commerce is the practice of using technologies which provide location information, such as GPS, for business purposes such as location-based services."
so basically, it related to location based activity.
so today i would like to share with you L-commerce software or system which is GPS.
what is GPS?how to use it?
according to www.wikipedia.org,
"The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. "
so, this GPS devices or software mostly been used as navigation tools to replace old-fashioned map.
this GPS can be seen whether in shape of the devices it self or software that been installed in smartphone.
so for me, i experienced in using this GPS software that been installed in my smartphone.
(example on how GPS works, source : www.google.com)
there are several brand of GPS devices or software such as Papago, Sygic, and Garmin.
and i have been experienced in using all of these GPS brand which been installed in my smartphone.
and what i can say that this GPS system help me a lot when it comes to navigation.

(sygic navigator, source : www.google.com)
(garmin navigator, source : www.google.com)
imagine that someone like me that used to live in not so urban area like Malacca and Johor.
and suddenly i need to live and stay at place like Kuala Lumpur where the road are really complex.
at Malacca, we dont have much elevated road and we even dont have such a complicated route.
we mostly have just one way road and it easy to understand.
but in Kuala Lumpur, sometimes there are 3 level of elevated road/highway.
and each level bring us into different place.
and i usually enter a wrong route since it is too confusing.
but with GPS, probability for me to enter wrong route has been minimize.
GPS software that been installed will guide me and recommend the route whether i set it to shortest distance, avoid highway or recommended route.
but negative side on using this GPS is that, since i relying on it too much, i tend not to use my brain. (hehehe)
even simple route i still can't memorize it.
for example, from my rent house at Seksyen 7 Shah Alam to Pusat Bandar Shah Alam.
i still use GPS to go there.
and that make even me to laugh on myself.
this GPS software that i been installed in my phone can be purchased at Google Playstore for android or Iphone appstore for Iphone.
but for geek like me, i used cracked apps that i get for free.
nowadays everything can be obtain for free. but of course it is not good for industry.
and nowadays most of the vehicle has been preinstalled with GPS system.
and believe me, it is useful all the time and save time.
p/s : wanna go to faculty sometimes i may use GPS since UiTM Shah alam area are too wide and complicated like a district (hehehehe)
