A Global Positioning System or a GPS is a device that receives signals that will indicate current locations. Although they were originally intended for the use of the military and for non-civilian aviation, they have become very popular consumer products. Not all GPS systems are portable but those that are feature sturdy and water resistant bodies and long lasting replaceable batteries to make them suitable for hikers, bike riders, mountain climbers and ever deep sea divers.
