GPS devices
Satellite location finders
GPS devices are electronic instruments that use the Global Positioning System—a network of satellites—to determine location on Earth.
Dedicated units for navigation in cars or while hiking have largely been displaced by smartphone apps, though specialized GPS devices remain common for aviation, marine use, and outdoor recreation where phone signals fail.
