What is GPS?

The GPS is a navigational system that calculates position from accurate

US aviation satellites. This system allows you to track down your exact

location on the earth. The GPS satellites are located in six orbits, 20,000

km above us. The GPS consists of a total of 24 GPS satellites: Four of the

satellites are placed into each orbit, and at least three satellites are

required to pinpoint your location. A GPS receiver receives radio signals

from the satellites, and calculates the present location based on the orbital

information (almanac data) and travel time of the signals, etc.

Measuring a location is called “tracking”. A GPS receiver can track down

the location’s latitude and longitude by receiving signals from three

satellites.
