Global Positioning System (GPS) |
| The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation"
of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for
people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. The
location accuracy is anywhere from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment.
Accuracy can be pinpointed to within one (1) meter with special military-approved
equipment. GPS equipment is widely used in science and has now become sufficiently
low-cost so that almost anyone can own a GPS receiver. |
