I used it one bleak winter to get a picture of the path onto a beach I visit with family every year. It was a scene I never thought to photograph, but it triggered the happy memories of smells, sounds, and the sandy wood planks under my feet.

For work, we use it a lot to locate and assign accurate coordinates to health care facilities. Looking for signs with names or address numbers. We also use geocoding software, but that often approximates a location based on the range of numbers on a block. For example, the address 150 Main St might be placed in the middle of the 100s block. Works for cities and suburbs with regularly spaced buildings, but awful for rural roads where a "block" can stretch a mile.
