HOW DOES GPS WORK?

The GPS, is a high technological device that uses between 24 and 32 satellites in the earth orbit.

DETERMINING POSITION.

Microwave signals.

DETERMINING POSITION.

Is necessary three satellites for determine GPS receiver position.

ground stations control the distances between the earth and satellites. The satellite sends the data position to ground receiver. the accuracy of the GPS devices depends in a high time measurement, and small timeposition differences.

DETERMINING POSITION.

GENERAL STEPS

Ground station control satellite position. The satellites determine GPS receiver position and send data collection. GPS receiver use a high technological software to mapping the real position.
