# GPS Activation Device

## Overview

GPS Activation Devices are the pressure-plate style triggers used on top of a [[gps_teleportation_matrix|GPS Teleporter Matrix]].
There are two versions: Shared and Personal.

## Shared vs Personal

* Shared Activation Device: anyone can step on it to use the teleporter.
* Personal Activation Device: only the player who placed the plate can activate it.

## Usage

Place the activation device on top of a finished teleporter matrix setup.
Step on it to open the waypoint menu, as long as the matrix and all eight pylons are present.

## Notes

* The teleporter uses the matrix owner's waypoint network.
* The Personal version is useful for private teleporter pads in shared bases.
* The handheld alternative is the [[portable_teleporter|Portable Teleporter]].
