GPS in Telescopes

Is GPS really needed built in a telescope? Would a built in GPS justify higher prices?

Dear bassamz,

I think your question is : what is the main usage of GPS, I agree with you that it is not compulsory but it’s quite handy when your scope is on move, it basically finds the local time and your local coordinates,

Professionals usually do it manually.

I highly agree with you about unjustified cost.
