 * There are different types of mapping: **
 * GPS (Global positioning system)- The GPS device is used to tell where you are and how to get to where you want to go. ﻿It can determine its location based on the position of the GPS satellites.

How they used Genetic mapping for the type of plant. ||
 * **Gene mapping-** Refers to two different ways of locating the gene on the chromosome.
 * There are two types of gene mapping: **
 * 1) **Genetic mapping:** determines how two genes on a chromosome relate in their positions.
 * 2) **Physical mapping**: Locates genes by their absolute positions on a chromosome using any technique available.

 Its accurate  Easy to use  Can be used anywhere in the world  Easy to store
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">ADVANTAGES **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> If the data is put in incorrectly the device would completely unreliable. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> It is expensive <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Time consuming <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> High technology needed
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">DISADVANTAGES: **


 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Social and Ethical Issues **


 * 1) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Reliability**: The data has to be updated, and if it has been updated incorrectly then the device wont be any good
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Integrity of Data**: If someone tampers with the data the whole device would become unreliable.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**People and machines:** People are relying on the devices more
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Privacy and Security:** Restricted access to machines. The GPS is a very valued system, which can be easily abused if being stolen by the terrorists. The gene mapping is also important as its part of an electronica health record.
