A GPS tells you exactly where to go.

A global positioning system (GPS) like the TomTom allows you immediate access to driving directions and maps to lead you to your destination. The device is portable and can be used in your car or while you are taking a hike or participating in geocaching. Using a TomTom device helps keep you from getting lost by providing turn-by-turn directions, as well as alternate routes and traffic updates to help you avoid obstacles as you travel to unfamiliar places.
