GPS display

Digital direction finder

A GPS display is the screen on a navigation device that shows your location, route, and directional information.

The term covers everything from dedicated dashboard units to smartphone navigation apps: The GPS display showed three miles to the next exit.

Most GPS displays combine maps with turn-by-turn directions, distance remaining, and estimated arrival time.
