A handheld tracker is a device that lets you know where you are and where you're going. It has GPS, meaning it uses satellites to figure out where you are, and then you can tell it where you want to go. When you're walking or driving, it will show you the way. The device will usually have a screen, so you can see a map that shows you where you are and where you need to go, and it will also tell you the time, day and other details.
