It depends on whether the marine GPS the person is using has a map of the region the boat is in. If so, he can use the GPS to navigate to the nearest port. If not, he needs to use a paper map to locate the region with the coordinates the GPS is providing.

Can you remove a global positioning system if your still paying for a car?

My first reaction when I read this question: If, when you were involved in an accident, the person or dealer who sold it to you would expect you to pay the costs to repair it, then you probably have the right to make modifications to it, or do anything you want to it. If you bought the car from a dealer, then the dealer immediately sold the loan to a finance company. He got his full price for the car, you're making payments to the finance company, and they could not care less what happens to the car, just as long as you keep sending them the payments. Read the contract you signed when you took possession of the car. (You did keep the paperwork, right ?)

How could Global positioning satellites and Geographic information systems be used together when studying a water system?

Global positioning satellites can provide accurate location data for water system components, such as sampling points or infrastructure, which can be integrated into GIS. GIS can then be used to analyze and visualize spatial relationships, track changes over time, and model scenarios within the water system. This integration allows for better decision-making in managing and monitoring the water system.
