Tips

  • Selling the GPS is more efficient than selling its separate parts (20 for Gold Watch or 30 for Platinum Watch, 20 for the depth meter, and 25 for the compass).
  • Also, it is possible to have the GPS simply sit in your inventory, because it does not need to be equipped to function.

Trivia

  • GPS stands for "Global Positioning System", which in real life is used to track the user's location.
  • GPS in the real world work by receiving time-stamped messages and comparing them with the present time, which is perhaps reflected in the need for a clock to craft.
