Travel advisory while carrying and using a GPS receiver. This may be applicable even in other countries. This is based on my experiences.
1. Before going to an unfamiliar place, know the current events and news on the region/location you plan on traversing.
2. Insurgence in the area might be perilous if you're seen with a GPSr and pushing buttons(marking way-points) specially in areas like military base, known influenced barangays/community, or some kind of security perimeters and installations. Using gps equipped mobile phones Might conceal what you are doing but still pretty risky.
3. If you stopped in front of an establishment with security guards and cctv while on a vehicle/motorcycle/etc., with helmet on or any kind of obstruction that may look like you're hiding or concealing your identity, and try pushing buttons on the gps, you might look suspicious to others and may think you're communicating with someone and informing someone using a phone or communication device to carry out something God knows what, hehehe. Your gps might look like a radio transceiver for ignorant people.
4. Civilian GPS receivers are accurate and sensitive enough that it may pose a security risk to any organization if in the wrong hands.
Sana meron tayong IDs and stickers, and sana ma-feature man lang itong project natin para sa bayan sa mga TV programs para ma-inform naman ang public.(Translation: Hoping that we could have IDs and stickers, and wishing that this joint project be featured in TV programs so the public is informed of our joint project.) GPS are useful specially in rescue operations, etc.
