GPS (Global Positioning System)


GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. Today's GPS receivers are extremely accurate to pint pointing exactly were to take you.
