I'm trying to find out the difference between a compass and a GPS.

A Compass is an instrument for navigation, which uses magnetic fields to indicate direction. It typically consists of two parts, a magnetized needle and a dial or graduated plate that indicates the angle of the magnetic field lines.A GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information to a receiver anywhere on Earth. It uses a network of satellites to calculate its users' exact locations, and then displays those coordinates on a map display.
