More and more often, GPS is used to find and monitor people rather than to help people not get lost.
WJLA-TV, for instance, has used tracking devices in cars and trucks that members of the news crew used after work hours. The devices were used during work hours, too.
"You have managers who call you and say, `Why have you stopped here, why did you stop there?' " said a news cameraman who asked not to be identified. "You're like, `I had to go to the bathroom,' or `I had to get something to eat.' "
And Oregon, for tax purposes, would like to install GPS in residents' cars to monitor their in-state mileage.
