Global Positioning Systems (GPS)

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are satellite-based navigation tools that determine your exact location anywhere on Earth. They work by using a network of satellites that send signals to your device. Your GPS receiver calculates your position by measuring the time it takes for signals from multiple satellites to reach it. This information is processed to pinpoint your latitude, longitude, and altitude in real-time. GPS is widely used for navigation, mapping, and location-based services, offering precise positioning regardless of where you are, whether driving, hiking, or exploring new places.
