What Is GPS ?
In 1974 the USA Department of Defense started development of the Global Positioning System
(GPS), a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit 12,000 miles above the Earth. By triangulating the signals
from four of the satellites, a receiving unit on Earth can pinpoint its current location to within a few
meters. A GPS device receives the data from satellites and then converts the longitude, latitude, and
altitude (LLA) data into a location point. Position and navigation information is vital to a wide range of
professional and recreational activities including surveying, search and rescue, tracking, hiking,
navigating, and so forth.
