GPS is short for Global Positioning System. GPS devices have a chip that a satellite (up in space) can read to tell the unit it's exact location at any given time. Lately, the technology has been built into cars as an anti-theft device and can be implanted in pets in case they get lost.

GPS gaming
GPS:: Tron. "The player's movements in real space, which are tracked by GPS and transmitted to the phone's display, influence his/her position in the game. Each player is represented by a line that gets longer and longer. But the player's own line is never allowed to cross itself or the opponent's line. Which makes the game harder as time passes."

Global Positioning Satelite.
The US has their Navstar Satelites, Russia has their Glonass system but they are getting pretty old. The EU has just put up their first Galileo Satelite.
In some business and military applications You can know where you are on earth to a 1centimeter precision.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
It gives the exact longitude and latitude for where you are (if you're trying to determine your location), or for some random place (if you're trying to determine the location of some random place), in the world.
