 |
|
 Being recognised in the GPS industry is one thing, but as SatNav becomes more and more popular we are being mentioned in all sorts of media. This month the respected PC magazine PC Pro rates PocketGPSWorld.com as number 17 in their list of top 50 secret websites.
| PC Pro website wrote: | In issue 154 of PC Pro, we've hand picked our top 50 secret websites.
These aren't the well-known click magnets that traditionally top favourite website lists. Our 50 are the hidden gems without the multimillion marketing budgets; the lesser-known but no less worthy websites that you might not have come across before.
Click here for the PC Pro website. |

A very British affair, it’s home to the pioneering speed camera database, which can be downloaded as a POI database for many different devices. But more than that, it’s also the first place to go for GPS-related problems or the latest device and software reviews. Underpinned by a knowledgeable and friendly community, PocketGPSWorld should be firmly on your web map. |

Im sure by this time next year you'll be in the top ten. I recommended this site to a mate who was buying a new sat. Go and learn all about the world of sat navs, look, listen and learn before you buy I told him

If there are a milion site visits a month does that really mean it's a secret.
Sounds like the secrets out. 8)

Me too, but Microsoft has a 40% share in Apple (or something like that), so there's no escaping them completely.
But, what a lot of people don't realise is that Microsoft Office was released for the Mac before the Windows version AND users rate it more highly than the Windows version.
For those indecisive computer users, the 'new' Intel based Macs can run either Mac OS or Windows - the best of both worlds 
Anyway, back to the topic...
PGPSW is UK-based and with a total population of about 60million, I would have thought that 1million hits per month was quite an achievement.
As far as I can see, PGPSW more than satisfies the needs of members and therefore a position of 1st or 17th is irrelevant.
PGPSW is a great success and, surely, this is the important issue
