+Gecko1 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Global Positioning System semes to refer to the whole system, instead of just the sats or the receiver. It's more general. Quote Link to comment
Luckless Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I wasn't sure if the "S" was for service or system and I needed the right wording. I had heard it called service. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I thought it was a reason to upgrade to a newer GPS since my old one has Gone Past Service. Or when you do a #2 in the woods you pack it out. Quote Link to comment
