#1 This has absolutely nothing to do with GPS. Buck Rogers stuff. I hope it works.

#2 An internal navigation system, such as those used on nuclear submarines, should do the trick. They would have to be made smaller. Hmmm, use a Wii. :-)

#3 Artificial lightning strikes the ground and illuminates the target in question while a receiver array watchs the reflections. Sounds quite feasible. Kinda of like a really large ground penetrating radar.

#4 "Mahmoud! Did you hear that? Sounds like thunder!"
"Don't be an old woman, Achmed. Now help me get this ammo through the tunnel."
"I'm telling you, Mahmoud, I'm smelling something. It's like sulfur. You think the evil Juice are up to something?"
"Relax, how could they know we're here?"
