Why should Global Positioning System have exclusive dibs on the
acronym? According to http://www.acronymfinder.com GPS can mean any
one of the following:

Global Positioning System    
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador - Baltra (Airport Code)    
Gallons Per Second    
Gas Pressure Switch    
General Problem Solver    
General Purpose Segment    
General Purpose Separator (at CERN)    
Generalized Phase Shift    
Generalized Processor Sharing    
Geophysical Processor System    
Geophysical Products System    
German Philatelic Society    
Global Priority Service    
Global Product Support    
Go Pound Sand    
Graphical Programming Software    
Great Plains Software    
Ground Processing Station    
Groundwater Protection Strategy    
Guidance Power Supply  
Gunner's Primary Sight    
The Gap, Inc. (stock symbol)  

I Personally like General Problem Solver & Graphical Programming
Software the best :-)
