+DBC FOR LIFE Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Ok this is very basic! I have been geocaching for a couple years now and lately I've been seeing people using the term "GPSr" and I have no idea what the little "r" refers to.... Quote Link to comment
WH Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) Global Positioning Satellite Receiver. The term GPS actually refers to the satellites. The device you carry is actually a GPSr *edited for typos* Edited May 18, 2004 by WH Quote Link to comment
+RichardMoore Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I thought it was Global Positioning System. Meaning satellites, receivers, everything. But the little r is for receiver. Quote Link to comment
+DBC FOR LIFE Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Makes a lot of sense, as I knew it would! Thanks Quote Link to comment
