2. GIS originally was devised to assist scientific research and analysis, such as would be used to forecast earthquakes. However that technology is now used to monitor when you enter the local Bed Bath and Beyond, enabling them the ability to send current coupons to your cell phone.  The GIS system can be used to collect data on people entering a certain store that can then be used by that store to analyze demographic regions of their customers. This can aid in target market advertising. The GPS, on the other hand, would simply identify the location you are specifically at. 

According to "Difference between.net", the difference between a GPS and a GIS can be summed up: 

1. The GPS (Global Position System) is a network that locates certain places here on earth whereas the GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computer program that process data linked to certain places or locations. 

2. The GIS is a more generic framework compared to the specific GPS network.
