GPS screen

Route guidance panel

A GPS screen is the display on a navigation device showing maps, directions, and location information.

The term usually refers to the screen on a dedicated GPS unit rather than a phone: She glanced at the GPS screen to check the next turn.

It may also mean the navigation display in a vehicle's dashboard.
