Introduction to GPS Technology:

Brief overview of Global Positioning System (GPS) and its historical development.

Explain the fundamental principles of GPS, involving satellites, receivers, and triangulation.

Traditional GPS Technology:

Recap of how traditional GPS works using signals from multiple satellites to determine a user's
position.

Discuss limitations of traditional GPS, such as accuracy issues in urban canyons and indoor
environments.

New Developments in GPS Technology:

Multi-Constellation and Multi-Frequency Support:

Explanation of how newer GPS receivers can access signals from multiple satellite constellations
(GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for improved accuracy and reliability.

Introduction to multi-frequency receivers that can process different frequency signals for enhanced
positioning in challenging environments.

Real-time Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP):

Overview of RTK, which provides centimeter-level accuracy by using real-time corrections from a
reference station.

Explanation of PPP, a technique that uses precise satellite orbit and clock data to achieve accurate
positioning without the need for a nearby reference station.

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and Differential GPS (DGPS):

Discussion of A-GPS, which uses cellular network assistance to improve initial GPS acquisition and
accuracy.

Explanation of DGPS, a method that uses reference stations to correct GPS signals and enhance
accuracy.

Augmented Reality (AR) and GPS:

Introduction to how GPS technology is integrated with AR applications to overlay digital information
onto the real world.

Examples of AR use cases, such as navigation, tourism, and gaming.

GPS in Smartphones and Wearables:
