The less it is able to land more difficult to become an exact location. In a desert, it may difficult to specify exactly whereare calculated without time away to a resection on the map. This can also be a problem in an environment where visibility is low, such as a swamp or a forest. It 'the only real alternative to dead reckoning or GPS.

GPS systems allow a hiker or camper lot of freedom. With a compass, a hiker or camper must always remember to navigation. The pre-plotted course selection followed only when the user moves from place to place, his search for the distance and directionall the time. If terrain permits, the passage of a certain freedom to place an identifiable place can be identified. With a GPS, to care for walkers only on general sites, and whether more or less going in the right direction, and if you avoid rocks or other things that can easily be more careful when near the final position. In general, a GPS receiver the freedom of those who normally orienteering on a compass navigation course.

On the other hand, some people also use GPS systems for cars, usually builtthe back of the seat in front of you.

GPS systems also offer a very specific time in which the system itself is based on the correction never-satellite constellation. When the time expires, the system is not able to report it so that the systems are built to use GPS signals from satellites to synchronize their time to be very close. For those who really need precise timing, which is cheaper than the more expensive watches and is more accurate.
