Global positioning

Global positioning is a technology that uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth to determine a specific location. Devices like smartphones receive signals from multiple satellites, and by calculating the time it takes for these signals to reach them, they can pinpoint the exact position—latitude, longitude, and altitude. This system, known as GPS (Global Positioning System), enables navigation, mapping, and location-based services with high accuracy, assisting in activities such as driving, hiking, or even rescuing lost persons. It’s a seamless way to know where you are anywhere on the planet.
