GPS Joseph Morton

What is GPS ?  Global Positioning System or GPS. Is a space satellite navigation system that provides location and time info in all weather, anywhere on the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is ran by the United States government and is accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver

How can you use GPS ?  You can use GPS when you travel. Many cars have a GPS built in or you can buy them fairly cheap ( Garmin, Tom Tom)  A lot of the new smart phones have a GPS built in.  You also have the watch GPS

Who uses a GPS  Many military officers use a GPS in the time of war  Pilots use the GPS to plan there flying route  Police officers use them to find a scene

GPS prices  these are just some of the types of GPS Tom-Tom $ 219 Garmin E trex $104

How did we navigate before the GPS  There were many ways the explorers and other people like the Indians explored. The people that sailed on ships used maps. Others used the sun and moon
