Please advise if GPS is available in Cebu, Philippines?

I want to survey a plot of land for various heights and distances - can I do this with a handheld GPS unit?Please advise if GPS is available in Cebu, Philippines?
Yes there is GPS in the philippines and yes a hand held works just fine here.Please advise if GPS is available in Cebu, Philippines?
it should.





but dont quote me on that.
I guess that you want to check it out for yourself first. Not a bad idea at all. The GPS does work here.
The clue is in the name ';global positioning system';, global, ie works everywhere.
Firstly, GPS will work anywhere in the world. What prevents GPS from working is not location but the environmental conditions such as buildings blocking signals (aka ';urban canyon';) or something else interfering with the signal (e.g. being to close to an airport's antenna array).





Second, what do you mean by ';survey a plot of land for various heights and distances';??? The term ';survey'; has some very specific meanings when it comes to dealing with plots of land. If you are truly looking to ';survey'; the plot in the manner a surveyor would, you can NOT use a handheld GPS unit that is designed for recreational use. You can ONLY use ';survey grade'; GPS receivers to do this kind of work.
duh!
