 What Is GPS?

•Global Positioning System (GPS) is

technology that can be your accurate
position anywhere on the earth
(latitude/longitude). You need a special
GPS receiver that can receive signals
from satellites.
 USES OF GPS
• Agriculture & forming

• Camera & photography

• Recreation
 NEED FOR GPS DEVICE
• A GPS device can be used for many
things. From giving you turn-by-turn
directions on a map to measuring time
with great accuracy.

• The GPS provides quickly,accurately the

time position &velocity of the object any
where on the global at any time.
 Principles of GPS
• GPS employs time of arrival(TOA) ranging
• for user position determination
• Three dimensional position location via
• intersection of multiple spheres
Applications of GPS
 How GPS works?
• The GPS system consists of
three pieces.There are the
satellites that transmit the
position information, there are the
ground stations that are used to
control the satellites and update
the information,and finally there is
the receiver that you purchased.
It is the receiver that collects the
data from satellites and computes
its location anywhere in the world
based on information it gets from
satellites.
