Everybody here is saying talking about "bad experiences with GPS". You guys have bad experiences with shitty navigation software ; the GPS is innocent. The GPS is nice and beautiful, and it's the first ever technology to use quantum physics, special AND general relativity at the same time.

also most devices nowadays and even for a fair while now support other systems too: galilei, GLONASS, beidou, etc. The broad term for GPS-like systems is GNSS.
