Sorry, don't know about the GPS system, but I'm curious about the comment above.
I had a 6 acre lot prior to moving to the lakes full time. You can buy 14 gauge wire in spools that would more than cover the perimeter of your lot for less than $75. I ran 1600' of wire and the standard pet fence, wired system worked fine for us.
The expense you reference may be for others to install/bury. But in my experience, you only need to bury the cable in key locations. If most of it will be in non-traveled/forested areas, just place it on the ground and 2 seasons of leaf fall will bury it.
