INTRODUCTION
The meaning of GPS is global positioning system
About the GPS its a satellite navigation using satellites to
locate your nearest location an what your trying to locate
The project was first developed around 1973.
Over the years the project had advanced and had changes in
the new technology we have today
HOW IT WORKS
Wherever you are on the planet, at least four GPS satellites are visible
at any time. Each one transmits information about its position and the
current time at regular intervals
Once it has information on how far away at least three satellites are,
your GPS receiver can pinpoint your location using a process called
trilateration.
The more satellites there are above the horizon the more accurately
your GPS unit can determine where you are
MORE ABOUT IT
GPS satellites have atomic clocks on board to keep accurate time.
General and Special Relativity however predict that differences will
appear between these clocks and an identical clock on Earth
General Relativity predicts that time will appear to run slower
under stronger gravitational pull the clocks on board the satellites
will therefore seem to run faster than a clock on Earth
JOBS ASSOCIATED WITH IT
Utilities and energy management (uem)
Basically coordinating job locates coordinates
Salary is $47,923.00 - $75,376.00 / Per Year
MODERN GPS
GPS today becomes really helpful with finding
locations you want to reach if your lost or dont
know where to go
It help as a map gps are basically digital maps
