    looking for a device that only displays Co-ordinates of where that device is, that will keep changing with the slightest movement.

    I would like the device to display only characters such as letter numbers and symbols, I do not want to see maps or a degrees circle.

    I am searching all over google but cannot seem to find one like this but this device is out there.

    Can anyone point meet in the direction to find where i can get this item, like i am wondering if there is a different name for this device other than gps compass

    What is the application for this?
    There are plenty of phone apps that would do this.
    Eg

    Do you have €100,000? If not its game over. Plain GPS cant do what you need without RTK.

    Agree with ED_E above. What you're looking for is known as 'centimeter-level accuracy' which is beyond the budget of a mere consumer, forget it.

    I think you can only get an accuracy of about 7 meters, give or take, with normal devices.

    What you might be looking for is RFID where if your object is moved the RFID movement from location fires a message or similar.
