Global positioning system
GPS (Global Positioning System) was designed for the US military to allow them to identify their exact location. GPS receivers are particularly helpful if you are navigating across featureless terrain where it can be trickier to get a bearing. A receiver shows your position by grid reference and records your movements as you travel. Different models have various visual displays and more advanced models offer you the ability to plot your route and save reference points for the future.
