I kind of giggled when i read "tactical GPS." I imagine the device is all black and is made by a company whose motto is some variant of "high speed low drag."

I kind of giggled when i read "tactical GPS." I imagine the device is all black and is made by a company whose motto is some variant of "high speed low drag." Other than that what is the difference between a "tactical GPS" and a run of the mill GPS?
- chrisseaton 10y agoIt's a small, ruggedised GPS that interfaces with personal military radio systems such as Bowman. Tactical meaning used on a person, as opposed to something on a vehicle with a big antenna. These didn't say they had a barometer, which is why I made the distinction. I used them when I was in the Army. What is there to giggle about in any of that?
- 7402 10y agoFull respect if you used it in the army. The giggling was probably because the GPS was thought to be "tacticool" (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tacticool http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tacticool) as opposed to tactical.
- dfc 10y agoThis is exactly what I was thinking. You do not see many comments from Tommy Tacticool on HN.
