GPS

What is GPS?

GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on or near the Earth.

It consists of a network of satellites in orbit around the Earth, ground control stations, and GPS receivers that can pick up signals from the satellites. The GPS receiver uses the signals from multiple satellites to determine its precise location and can also calculate speed, heading, and other information. GPS technology is widely used in a variety of applications, such as navigation for vehicles, mapping and surveying, outdoor recreation, and tracking and monitoring of people, animals, and objects.
