This page should be renamed Satellite navigation device or most of the content transfered to Satellite navigation device and a redirect as most of the content, when edited to non specific Sat Nav systems, would be a better home for this information, particularly as Glonass, Galileo and other systems are of increasing importance.Theo Pardilla (talk) 10:42, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.

This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.

If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.

If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.

If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.

When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.

The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

• http://web.archive.org/web/20080610092154/http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/computers/lago/lago6.html
• :Triggered by \barmy-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

{{done|Resolved}} This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:36, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I propose that Personal navigation assistant be merged into this article, GPS navigation device. The content in the PNA article is duplicated in, or is a subset of, GPS navigation device. The merged article is of a reasonable size and will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. There has not been much activity in PNA for a while, it all goes into developing GND.

:I support merging. However, neither title (Personal navigation assistant and GPS navigation device) is optimal. The articles should be merged under a title that refers to satellite navigation system receivers in general, such as “{GNSS|satellite navigation} {receiver|user device}”, because that is the common topic. Given the current content of the merge candidates, there is no point in limiting the title to GPS only, or only personal navigation devices (excluding those in planes, missiles and a lot more applications). Note that some receivers are not intended as navigation devices but instead as time and frequency references. In the future, if the article (after the merge) is much more detailed than it is now, it may make sense to split that article into more specific articles, such as “GNSS receivers for aviation”, “GNSS-corrected time and frequency reference devices” and “Multi-GNSS user device” but given the current lack of detail, a generic title is more appropriate.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:2|one external link|2 external links}} on GPS navigation device. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=701375370 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://peosoldier.army.mil/factsheets/SWAR_LW_DBCS.pdf

It was my pleasure of reading this article. I now understand how the GPS fist came and when it was integrated with cars and phones. Very informative and good choice of article. However; the article still needs few changes down listed at the bottom. If you can find these missing parts your article should be good to go. Thanks for your understanding!

• Citation and clarification needed for Sensitivity context on the second line.
• Citation needed under Sensitivity context bottle line.
• Source needed at the Sequential Receivers context.
• Citation needed at the Mishaps context.

Now that Glonass is working quite reliably, and Beidou and Galileo (satellite navigation) peeping on the horizon, isn't it time to make this article less GPS-specific? My vote is for renaming it to "GNSS navigation device". Jan olieslagers (talk) 10:33, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Does this article refer to devices using the US military GPS Service, or all satellite navigation services? (ex: GLONASS, Galileo, etc.)
