GPS Ireland

Gary Delaney of GPS Ireland has been involved in the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) industry in Ireland since it started more than 11 years ago. In that time, the company has worked in both the commercial and consumer markets to promote and support the use of GPS for everything from land surveying to road navigation. In recent years, with arrival of Garmin SatNavs with detailed road mapping for Ireland, GPS Ireland has been supporting their use by utility & logistics companies and service providers in general. For the last 2 years, testing a solution to Ireland’s non unique addressing system with Garmin has been a large part of our activity and our new PON Code geo-postcoding solution will allow commercial users absolutely pinpoint destination location;- contributing greatly to route planning, advance destination confirmation and fuel economy.

Gary Delaney is a former Navigation specialist in the Navy, with a Master’s Degree in Navigation Technology, a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation, a Professional Member of the Irish Institution of Land Surveyors and an experienced instructor in the use of GPS for everything from Navigation to Precise Surveying.
