In this article, I will put the spotlight on how you can use GPS in your Android smartphone. GPS stands for Global Positioning System which tracks your current location using your smartphone and guides you to your desired location while moving. Modern cars have these features built into their car system software where you don’t even have to use the Android phone to use GPS. To use the GPS on your smartphone you need to drag the icon from the top. Then tap on the GPS icon, in Android Google provides a pre-installed app for GPS tracking named Google Maps.
