GPS can not only help you when you are lost, it can also point you to the next love of your life. With this emerging technology, anyone can find a match that is compatible with them. It even suggests a place to meet nearby and gives you detailed directions on how to get there.
All you need to decide is what kind of relationship you are looking for (whether it be anything from a fling to “The One”). As you walk around town you may get a buzz with some basic info and a picture of your potential love match. From there, the possibilities are just a single click away.
