Semarang waters have the potential for economic fish such as grouper, tuna, mackerel and others. This considerable potential has not been fully utilized to improve the welfare of the surrounding community. The factor that influences the above is that fishermen do not know the exact location of fishing at any time. The location of the catchment area is in fact always changing. This location change is influenced by different aquatic environmental conditions. Technological developments make fishermen able to know the pattern of changing fishing locations. Marking the location of the capture can use the Global Position System (GPS). GPS can be a reference for fishermen to go to fishing locations and the resulting coordinate data can be a guide when and where there are a lot of fish in Semarang City. The use of GPS to support fishing operations in Semarang City, especially Tambakrejo Village, has not been optimal. This lack of optimal utilization is because many fishermen do not understand how to use GPS. Purpose The high benefits of GPS in supporting fishing operations, it is necessary to conduct training on the use of GPS for fishermen, especially in Tambakrejo Village. The purpose of this service is that fishermen can take advantage of the latest technology to support fishing operations. Implementation of activities is carried out by implementing health protocols so as to maintain the health of service participants. Activities in the form of handing over two GPS units to the Tambakrejo community and training on how to use them. The community was very enthusiastic in participating in this activity and there was a discussion between the service team and the service participants. It is hoped that the provision of GPS will make fishermen in Tambakrejo more efficient in carrying out fishing activities.
