DCFirst Claim
1. A system for determining the speed of a moving person, comprising (a) a GPS sensor configured for attachment with the moving person, for generating signals indicative of earth location, and (b) a microprocessor configured for attachment with the moving person, for processing the signals to determine the speed, and (c) a wireless transmitter configured with the housing for generating wireless signals indicative of the speed, the GPS sensor, wireless transmitter and microprocessor being constructed and arranged within a common water-tight housing, the housing being attached for attachment to the person or to a non-motorized vehicle ridden by the person, and a watch having a wireless receiver for receiving the wireless signals and for displaying the speed to the person.

8. A method for determining the speed of a moving person by use of a GPS sensor, wireless transmitter and a microprocessor, comprising:
-
sealing the GPS sensor, wireless transmitter and microprocessor in a common water-tight housing;
attaching the housing to the person or to a non-motorized vehicle ridden by the person;
moving the person;
generating GPS signals with the moving person and indicative of earth location; and
processing the signals with the moving person to determine the speed; and
generating wireless signals at a first location about the person and receiving wireless signals on a watch worn at a second location about the person to display the speed to the person. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
