gps forbidden in China?
When I was in China in 2016, it was forbidden to bring a GPS into the country. I have been searching if this information is still accurate. Is it still forbidden?

I have one for paragliding and I have a Zumo for my motorcycle, I live in Beijing.
I think they've given up on that what with phones having inbuilt GPS.
It's the waypoints that might get you in trouble.

Think, nowadays they mostly care about satellite phones as those can't be tapped into.

So GPS is generally okay now as long as it doesn't have sensitive waypoints stored? I'll probably play it safe and travel without storing anything sensitive just in case.
