I don't even have to say how useful and necessary GPS is. Google has used it wisely and implemented it in its services and devices, as well as in the Android system itself.

How to change the partition icon in Windows?

Ever wanted to change the partition or drive icon? The default icons are quite ok, but someone would still like to personalize their system as much as possible. First, where to find icons?
