Note
A verb made straight from an initialism: Global Positioning System, shortened to GPS, put to work as a verb meaning to locate something by satellite. The -ing attaches directly to the capitals, with no hyphen or apostrophe. Because the verb is transitive, the form takes a direct object in both its roles: after a verb like kept, and as a gerund heading a noun phrase (GPSing the trailhead saved an hour).
