<human>: Can you tell me what the difference is between a compass and a GPS?
<bot>: The main difference between a compass and a GPS is that a compass uses magnetic fields to determine direction, while a GPS uses satellites to calculate location. A compass can be used for navigation in areas where there are no visible landmarks or signs of civilization, such as wilderness areas, whereas a GPS requires an unobstructed view of the sky. Compasses also have more accuracy than GPS devices due to their reliance on magnetic forces, but they require more skill to use properly.
