A '''[[wp:Global Positioning System|Global Positioning System]]''', or '''GPS''', refers to a navigation system in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] that guides the player to a specific waypoint, whether it is related to a mission or plotted by the player themselves, by providing directions to said waypoints. For GTA games prior to GTA IV, players have only their knowledge of the road to reach a waypoint.
