commercial, industrial, and recreational. Only 1,581
acres or 46% of the land within the City has been

under a different settlement policy than the other
cities in Utah County. Lindon was established on
table land away from natural streams. Water had to
be diverted from its natural channels onto the land.
The settlement was originally known as Stringtown.
An old linden tree growing in the town in 1901
inspired the current name, and in 1924 the town
became incorporated. Interstate 15 goes through the
town, and there is an interchange at 600 South, and
an additional interchange at approximately 2400
West. The town’s motto is "Lindon: a little bit of
country." The town has tried to remain true to this,
and is certainly developing at its own pace.
Information About Lindon Used Cars:
GPS
When searching for a used car it is
worthy do first decide which option and technologies
are the most important to you. Finding the perfect
used car can be difficult, and sometimes extra
options are the last priorities. But it is still
good to know which ones you would prefer. GPS in
used cars has become very popular, and many late
model used cars would include this. If the vehicle
does not include GPS, you can easily install one
yourself.
The satellite-based Global
Positioning System navigation network was first used
in 1978 by the United States Department of Defense
for military purposes. By the mid-1980s,
ultrahigh-tech tracking devices that communicate
with the GPS became available on the free market.
The modern day GPS consists of 24 satellites. Each
one laps the planet twice a day. The satellites
broadcast constant low-power radio signals to GPS
receivers on Earth, which is hold the device tacks
people’s position. The GPS system calculates how
far the device is from each satellite, based on how
long it takes to receive the signal.
Some devices work on voice commands,
and some offer other information, such as
restaurants or gas station locations. One plus is
that GPS reception is unaffected by hills, canyons,
passing trucks. Though, they do sometimes fail to
work underground or in a parking structure. The
device can be truly helpful if you are in an
unfamiliar place, and can even help with the value
of the used car. This is a technology that is here
to stay. No one really needs this, but after having
used it, you may not be able to imagine life with
out.
