How could GPS use in navigating objects?
GPS receivers take signal information and calculate the user's exact location. Now, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. Your current location can be viewed in the GPS in the form of coordinates (latitude, longitude and altitude). If you are moving, your receiver may also be able to calculate your speed and direction of travel and give you estimated the distance to destinations and times of arrival to specified destinations. Besides, the locations and the route traveled can also be recorded.
There are three major Global Positioning Systems in use.
- The American Navstar System.
- The Russian Glonass System.
- The Europeon Galileo System.
