LOCATION-ENABLED PORTABLE AUDIO SYSTEM

Audio systems and methods for obtaining location information are disclosed. A portable, wireless speaker may include a beacon that a user may activate to remotely trigger a request for shot information, which may include location information of the user or speaker. The beacon may be wirelessly coupled to the speaker. Notably, the beacon may comprise an earpiece such as an earbud or pair of earbuds. The speaker may receive location information from a remote device, such as a GPS-enabled mobile phone. The shot information may be converted into an audio format for playback by the speaker. The speaker may pause the playback of the speaker to play out the shot information. The system may also comprise a visual display.
