GPS

GPS was designed to meet the military needs of the United States. Although later it was

made available to the civilian population which is a system nowadays in common use in

many areas. It provides continuous positioning and synchronization information regardless

of weather conditions and is used for security reasons.

The GPS consists of three segments which are the spatial, control and user. The space

segment consists of the constellation and the navigation message contains the location

information of satellites as a function of time, the main task of the control segment is to

track the GPS satellites in order to obtain the location and the user segment includes all

personnel using this system.

The global positioning system is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at fixed points

on the planet and this transmits signals to a receiver on the ground, these carry a time code

and a data point, allowing the user to identify their exact position, speed and time anywhere

on the planet. The most popular GPS identification systems are the space vehicle number

and pseudo random noise.

GPS has replaced conventional methods since it is a profitable process in terms of reducing

costs and time, since it helps various activities, and has made topography efficient in its

tasks since it shows a line of sight direct from a terrain. It is worth mentioning that GPS has

many applications in navigation, land, air and marine.

It can be said that the traditional topography presented many difficulties, and now, with

these new technologies, the topography can be moved at a greater distance, since the drone
offers a complete view from the sky without limiting the surveyor as on other occasions.

The GPS in topography and in the elevation terrain survey is a useful and effective tool that

gives you satisfaction in your work, since it has a firm support, when making decisions, to

be the precise information, which guarantees efficiency. and productivity.
