WHAT IS GPS?
The Global Positioning System
(GPS) is a navigation system
using satellites, a receiver and
algorithms to synchronize
location, velocity and time data
for air, sea and land travel.
GPS
WHAT ARE THE THREE
ELEMENTS OF GPS?
Space (satellites ) Ground control
User equipment
SPACE (SATELLITES)
The satellites
circling the Earth,
transmitting signals
to users on
geographical
position and time of
day.
GROUND CONTROL
The Control Segment is made up of Earth-based
monitor stations, master control stations and
ground antenna. Control activities include
tracking and operating the satellites in space
and monitoring transmissions. There are
monitoring stations on almost every continent
in the world, including North and South
America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.
USER EQUIPMENT
GPS receivers and transmitters
including items like watches,
smartphones and telematic
devices.
DIFFERENT LANDSCAPES GPS CAN
DETECT
WHAT ARE THE USES OF GPS?
GPS is a powerful and dependable tool for
businesses and organizations in many
different industries. Surveyors, scientists,
pilots, boat captains, first responders, and
workers in mining and agriculture, are just
some of the people who use GPS on a daily
basis for work. They use GPS information
for preparing accurate surveys and maps,
taking precise time measurements,
tracking position or location, and for
navigation. GPS works at all times and in
almost all weather conditions.
THERE ARE FIVE MAIN USES OF
GPS:
Location Tracking
Navigation Mapping
Timing
HOW DOES GPS TECHNOLOGY
WORK?
MAP KEY The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigation
system using satellites, a receiver and algorithms to
synchronize location, velocity and time data for air,
lake mountai
sea and land travel.
n
ocean forest The satellite system consists of a constellation of 24
satellites in six Earth-centered orbital planes, each
with four satellites, orbiting at 13,000 miles (20,000
river hill
km) above Earth and traveling at a speed of
8,700 mph (14,000 km/h).
WHAT AFFECTS THE ACCURACY OF
GPS?
Physical obstructions: Arrival time measurements can be skewed by
large masses like mountains, buildings, trees and more.
Atmospheric effects: Ionospheric delays, heavy
storm cover and solar storms can all affect GPS
devices.
Artificial interference: These include GPS jamming
devices or spoofs.
FUTURE OF GPS
Scientists and rescue workers are finding
new ways to use GPS technology in
natural disaster prevention and analysis in
the event of an earthquake, volcanic
eruption, sinkhole or avalanche. For the
COVID-19 pandemic, researchers are
looking at using cellphone location data to
assist with contact tracing in order to slow
down the spread of the virus.
The future of GPS tracking will likely be far more accurate
and effective for both personal and business use.
