GPS Global Positioning System is a navigation system that uses
a constellation of 24 satellites to provide data that enables a user
on the earth’s surface to determine location, speed and direction.
The satellites are operated by the United States Air Force and
transmit microwave signals picked up by GPS receivers.
The U.S. Air Force
operates the
constellation
of satellites
for GPS
Although GPS
has been around
for a while, one
of the most
amazing
developments is
how affordable
the smaller
hand-held
and fixed
marine
units have
become.
