GPS

|
A GPS unit is a electronic device that can determine your approximate
location (within around 6-20 feet) on the planet. Coordinates are
normally given in Longitude and Latitude. You can use the unit to
navigate from your current location to another location. Some units
have their own maps, built-in electronic compasses, voice navigation,
depending on the complexity of the device.

These readings were taken with my Garmin eTrex GPS in Ontario, Canada.
For locations, always assume "parking lot of" or "nearby".
