modern navigation systems

Modern navigation systems, like GPS (Global Positioning System), use satellites to determine your exact location anywhere on Earth. A GPS receiver in your device communicates with multiple satellites, calculating distances to pinpoint your position. Other systems include GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, each serving similar purposes but operated by different countries. Navigation apps integrate this data with maps, providing directions, traffic updates, and estimated arrival times. Advances in technology have also led to improved accuracy and additional features, such as real-time location sharing and offline navigation, enhancing the way we travel and explore our surroundings.
