The GPS is a satellite based Radio Navigation system, that utilizes precise range measurements from the GPS satellites to determine precise position anywhere in the world.
It is a computerized information storage processing and retrieval system that has hardware and software especially designed to cope with geographical referenced spatial data.

Techniques to input geographical information converting the information to digital form. Techniques for sorting information in a compact format on computer disk or digital storage media. Can analyze, make measurements and find optimum sites or routes and a hosts of other tasks. Can predict outcome of various scenarios, can display data in the form of maps, images etc.

The Space Segment of the system consists of the GPS satellites. These space vehicles (SVs) send radio signals from space. The nominal GPS Operational Constellation consists of 24 satellites that orbit the earth in 12 hours. There are often more than 24 operational satellites as new ones are launched to replace older satellites. The satellite orbits repeat almost the same ground track (as the earth turns beneath them) once each day.

The Control Segment consists of a system of tracking stations located around the world. The Master Control facility is located at Schriever Air Force Base (formerly Falcon AFB) in Colorado

Four satellites are required to compute the four dimensions of X, Y, Z (position) and Time. GPS receivers are used for navigation, positioning, time dissemination

CONSISTS OF GPS RECEIVER,ANTENNA AND PROCESSOR

Primary planned use when the system was conceived Both military and civilian applications In the future, all planes, boats, etc. will have GPS installed Used for Route navigation Safety (collision avoidance) Automated vehicle navigation Civil Engineering Road construction, Earth moving, structural placement Monitoring structural deformation Mining Drilling blast holes precisely Open pit mining equipment can be controlled using inputs provided by GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate positions accurate to a matter of meters. In fact, with advanced forms of GPS you can make measurements to better than a centimeter! In a sense it's like giving every square meter on the planet a unique address. GPS receivers have been miniaturized to just a few integrated circuits and so are becoming very economical. And that makes the technology accessible to virtually everyone.
