    The document discusses the Global Positioning System (GPS). It describes GPS as a system to identify positions on the globe using a network of satellites. The GPS system consists of three segments - the space segment with 24 satellites in six orbits, the control segment which monitors the satellites, and the user segment comprising GPS receivers. The satellites transmit radio signals that users can receive to calculate their location through trilateration. Sources of error and methods for error correction are also outlined, as well as various applications of GPS in industries like agriculture, transportation, and science.
