A Galactic Positioning System (or GPS) is a system that tells its user his/her/its physical position in the galaxy. Surprise!

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Optimus Prime Orion Pax had a GPS precise enough not only to say that he was on Cybertron, but where on Cybertron, even if nearby landmarks--like a mountain range--were missing.Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime

Notes

  • Does anyone seriously believe the writers did not deliberately name this thing after the real world GPS global positioning system?
  • Since comics often write everything in ALL CAPS regardless of what is normally considered correct capitalization, it is possible that GPS actually stands for "galactic positioning system" or "gaLaCTiC pOsiTiOninG sYsTEm". wHo cAReS? mY sHouLdERs huRT.
