GPS Navigation
You can use a GPS navigation system to get
directions. The GPS satellites circle the earth
twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit
signal information to earth. GPS receivers take
this information and use triangulation to
calculate the user's exact location.
Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time
a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the
time it was received. Now, with distance
measurements from a few more satellites,
the receiver can determine the user's position
and display it on the unit's electronic map.
