Tag: Global Positioning

Global Positioning refers to the technology and systems used to determine the precise location of an object or person on the Earth’s surface using satellite signals. The most well-known application of this technology is the Global Positioning System (GPS), which utilizes a network of satellites that transmit data to GPS receivers. This information allows users to ascertain their exact geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), enabling navigation, mapping, and location tracking. Global Positioning is utilized in various fields, including transportation, outdoor recreation, military operations, and mobile applications, facilitating accurate navigation and geographic awareness.
