GPS technology was made available to the public, more Americans are beginning to use it for personal and commercial use. We all know what it can do for those who want to get somewhere, it is time to discuss what is can do for the different sectors.

For instance, engineers can use GPS technology to survey an area of land and determine if it is ideal to construct a residential or commercial structure.

Meteorologists better known as the weathermen can predict accurately if the temperature in the valley for example will be cool or hot. It is very embarrassing to say it is going to be sunny when it happens to be cloudy the whole day.

Emergency crews also use GPS to get the scene of an accident. Once someone dials 911, the dispatcher can alert the nearest fire, police or medical units into the vicinity until backup arrives.

Some photographers also use GPS to get the perfect shot with a digital camera. This takes a bit of practice especially when these photos will be used in a magazine.

Earthquakes have occurred for centuries. Years ago, scientists could only guess the epicenter but thanks to GPS technology, it can determine the exact location and the moment it happens. This is very useful in warning people who live in the coastal regions that may be affected by a tsunami.

Aircraft once operated on the principle of fly by wire. The invention of radar changed all that and GPS systems help air traffic controllers and pilots determine the location of the plane while it's in midair. The same thing goes for ships at sea that will be able to respond to distress calls within a designated area.

The military, that were the pioneers of GPS technology have used this in many ways. It allows commanders to asses the battlefield; units both on the ground and the air to work on a combined assault and most of all
employ the use of smart bombs and other weapons to decimate a target.

Entrepreneurs who have to deliver goods all over the country can check where the driver is using GPS technology. This is placed on the vehicle and all the boss has to do is look at the screen.

One reason why GPS technology is so popular is because it is free. The government regulates it. All you will have to buy is the hardware and then keep the signal broadcasting

some children have grown up with the notion of finding treasure buried by pirates many years ago. When the kids are old enough, the parents buy a metal detector then go searching for stuff on the beach or in other places. 

So far, no one has been able to find a treasure chest using such equipment. Instead of seeking fortune, there are those who do this for fun. The name of the game is geocaching in which one person will hide a few items, give a few clues and let others find it. Once it is discovered, the finder will then change and replace a few things and the hunt starts all over again. 

Geocaching isn't something new that developed because of the global positioning satellite or GPS. This game has been going on for more than 150 years and the introduction of new technology has simply taken it to a new level. 

There are different ways by which people can play the game. A series of clues could lead the searches to a number of caches until the actual prize has been discovered. This will not only involve looking at the GPS unit but sometimes solving a puzzle because there isn't any challenge by just getting a fix on the location. 

There are certain rules that players have to follow in the game. For instance, a variety of mediums are permitted to be used in giving out clues. Some examples are internet, SMS messaging, stamps, landmarks and anything else that may come to mind. 

Once the cache has been found, the person should log one's name, the date and time it was discovered. In the event that the item can't be taken out, simply taking a picture is enough to determine who is the winner. 

There are a lot of organizations that sponsor Geocaching such as the Geological Society of America. Smaller ones will offer free memberships while others will ask for a small fee. 

You can work alone or in groups when looking for the prize. The most important thing to have of course is the GPS receiver because without it, other people will be able to find it first. 

In the end, this is just for fun. The chances of finding some long lost treasure worth millions probably won't happen so those who are thinking of doing this shouldn't even bother

there is a saying that goes, "good things come in small packages" and such a statement is true when going on a road trip. By having a GPS receiver, the odds of getting lost or making a wrong turn are reduced thus making the driver get there safe and sound. 

A good example of this is the Garmin NUVI GPS System. This is about 5 inches in width and 3 inches in height which is slightly bigger than a cellphone. 

It has a colored display that can be viewed in two or three-dimensional perspectives. There are some preprogrammed with maps on board and those who don’t want to follow the directions can customize it. If the user is looking for a particular street but can't find it, perhaps it is time to go online so it can be found and then uploaded into the unit. 

This handheld device is compatible with Bluetooth devices like those commonly found on PDA's and cellphones. It would be a good idea to get a headset when talking with people so the hands are on the wheel and the eyes are on the road. 

A warning is good but providing an alternate route is much better. The Garmin NUVI 660 has this feature. It can alert the driver if there are bottlenecks up ahead due to an accident or construction and even when bad weather's ahead. When such an announcement has bee made, you just press on the screen to select from the options. 

This handheld device has a rechargeable battery that is good for three to seven hours.
This varies because it comes with an MP3 player, an audio book player and a picture viewer making it also a mini entertainment system that can be connected to the car's stereo instead of just giving the user directions of where to go. 

Cars can be stolen and the chances of seeing it again are close to zero. The chances of seeing this again share the same odds but at least it has a lock system rendering it useless. 

The price tag for the Garmin NUVI 660 is $900. This can be purchased from the store or online and though it may cost a lot given its many features, this is a good buy for those who frequently hit the road

many years ago, an explorer by the name of Magellan was able to sail from Portugal all the way to Asia. Because of this individual's triumph, a company that specializes in electronic equipment specifically global positioning satellite systems decided to name it after him.

Magellan GPS has been in the business of providing GPS receivers since 1978. This company is based in Santa Clara, California with another office located in France. All of its units are handheld and lightweight. This makes it easy for you to mount it on the windshield instead of holding it in the palm of your hand.

Before going on a trip, you just put in the address of the desired destination. The computer will then compute the distance and estimated time of arrival. Because it has real time updates, the user can change the route if there is traffic reported up ahead. 

One example of this is the 2500T. It weights 7.8 oz, is waterproof in case it is brought out for camping, a rechargeable battery and has visual and audio guidance telling the driver when and where to make a turn. This little toy costs $499 and can be bought in an electronic store or online. 

Another is the Roadmate 2000. It is just like the first model mentioned but is much cheaper for about $349. It has a set of preprogrammed maps and can be uploaded with new ones by simply connecting it to the Internet. 

There are other uses for the Magellan GPS.
In the event of a car theft, it will make it easy for the police to find it. Kids that are allowed to drive can be tracked so parents don’t have to worry when they aren't home yet. 

As a result, businesses are also taking advantage of this technology. It allows entrepreneurs to locate where the trucks or the cabs are. After all, gas burns when such vehicles are on the move and it is only right that these are used properly. 

There are other models that Magellan can offer to the public. The customer can visit its website or check these out together with other brands in stores. After trying a few, you can't go wrong with this handheld GPS receiver that will get you and the family to the desired destination

GPS technology is very useful. It can tell you how to get somewhere without the use of road maps and this fits nicely into the palm of one's hands. Before buying it, here are some important tips that you should remember : 

  • There are a lot of companies selling GPS receivers, which is what you'll use on the road. You should do some research on the brands to check how good their products are. 

  • The price of GPS units vary and the cheapest ones will go for $150. You shouldn't buy the cheapest nor get the most expensive since there may be a few things that won't be used which is also a waste of money. You should balance it out by getting something in the middle and will be vital for your uses. 

  • Even though GPS units are had held, it should have a large display. It should also light up especially during the evening when you are driving in the middle of nowhere and unsure if it is the right way to go. 

  • The best GPS systems are those that can be used even after getting out of the car. It will also be a good idea if this gadget is waterproof since it would be bad if it quit working because it got wet. 

  • After doing some research, it is time to see what is available at the store. You can even visit other outlets to check if there is something better. The brands should be compared with one another based on the price and features.

  • If no decision has been made yet, it is time to ask others for their opinion. A friend or a family member could be using one of these units. Some online forums also post reviews on what is available. After reading and listening to the opinion of others, this may help you decide on the unit to buy. 


The GPS unit should be handled with care. The batteries must be charged and it should be stored properly when it isn't being used. Putting a casing will protect it from breaking due to the sudden impact. Other accessories will also come in handy such as a suction cap to stick it on the windshield and charger that is powered by the car's lighter switch.

global positioning satellite or GPS can do more than just prevent someone from getting lost. Studies have shown that this technology can make people stay in shape by building one's endurance. 

This happens by purchasing a watch that has GPS as one of its features. The basic ones act like regular watches because all it has is a timer. A good example of this is the Garmin Forerunner 101 and the Navman 

Those who prefer the more advanced ones can monitor the heart rate and measure the mileage run or jogged like the kind seen in the Garmin Forerunner 201. One of the best things it has it is the ability to store daily logs for more than two years. This can help athletes and fitness enthusiasts develop a program that will cater to their needs. 

There are different methods to make this happen :

  • The first is by setting a distance that has to be achieved. There is no time pressure here. The important thing is to complete it and then add another mile or two after a few weeks. 
  • This goes to the second method which involves timing. You may be able to run 10 miles but races are won by those who are able to finish it the fastest. 
Those who have endurance can work on speed. Athletes should have a strong start, maintain a certain pace and then finish strong in the end. This has to be perfected regardless if the marathon is done in the city or cross country. 
  • The first two methods are effective for those who
    compete. But for those who can't start quickly like the other runners or are doing this to lose weight, the third method of being able to maintain a certain speed together and heart rate is enough to make anyone stay in shape. 

This approach is more popular among those who have health issues. This is because not that much effort is exerted which isn't that stressful to the body. 

Garmin is just one of many that sells watches that have a GPS function. There are other brands to choose from such as Casio, Magellan and Timex. Running is just one way of helping people stay fit. Swimming a few laps in the water is another but before doing anything, it is best to consult with a doctor

Everyone has heard of what GPS is and how useful it is when navigating. But did you know that it can be used for other things? Since satellites up in space send radio waves to the device, it is also possible for others to track the user's movements.

In the event that your car is stolen, you can give police the frequency so it can easily be recovered from the thieves. If you have teenage kids, you can find out what area of town your son or daughter is in. There are even smaller GPS units that can be placed around the collar of your pet. This will make it easy for you to find it should it get lost.

You can also use the GPS unit to track the weather. This can help determine the weather and how hot or cool the day will be since the forecast given on television or the radio may be wrong.

If an accident happens on the road, those calling 911 may not be able to give the exact location where it took place but the GPS system in the car will enable dispatchers to send emergency crews before it is too late.

In business, time is money. Owners who have a fleet of trucks will know where each truck is. This eliminates wasting precious fuel and manpower by some staff who use such assets for personal use at the expense of the company.

GPS units are sold by a lot of retailers and some can even be purchased online. Businesses will have to shell out more money but some offer good discounts that will pay off in the long term.

Before buying any, you should do some research on the products available and how one brand does over the others. There is one out there for everybody and it just takes some time in figuring out which one is good value for the money.

People should remember that such technology didn't exist in the past and it was only heard of in the movies. This all changed when fiber optics and smarter computers were made enabling designers to come up with all sorts of devices.

Since this was first initiated by the Department of Defense, a good example of GPS technology put to action will be the military's ability of flying unmanned aerial vehicles or drones into the combat zones instead of sending pilots into hostile territory. It can stay in an area for hours before it has to go back to base and refuel

In this time and age, you probably have heard about GPS. Chances are you've seen what the device looks like on television and in James Bond films on the widescreen. But the design of the GPS came after the development of other navigation equipment such as the LORAN and the Decca Navigator of the 1940s.

Global Positioning System which is more commonly known as GPS is, at present, the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This means that more then twenty GPS satellites are currently orbiting the Earth. These satellites send signals to various GPS receivers providing information like location, speed and direction which are pertinent in basic navigation.

The first GPS was launched in the late 70s. Since then, it has developed into a very important piece of equipment not only in the field of navigation but has directly improved the providing of other services as well. GPS technology has been used in map-making and land surveying as well as determining calamity struck areas, identifying hungry stricken nations, and the like. GPS has become a scientific tool to aid studies on earthquakes, volcano eruptions, storm and hurricane formations, and other naturally occurring phenomena. 

GPS was first developed by the United States Department of Defense. At first it had a very long name. The device was known as NAVSTAR GPS which is short for Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System. The military still holds the control over the satellite constellation being used by GPS users. It takes millions of dollars to maintain and operate. Even so, the general public are able to use GPS technology. 

How does it work? Basically, GPS uses a technique called trilateration. A GPS receiver will calculate its position in reference to three or more GPS satellites. The receiver will measure the distance between the satellites and the time delay of the transmission and receipt of the radio signal. Plus, signals being sent carry information about the satellites' location. With this information, the GPS receiver is then able to compute its current position.

A current GPS is made up of three major segments, in particular the space segment or SS, a control segment or CS, and a user segment or US. The SS refers to the GPS satellites, or Space Vehicles (SV) that are orbiting the Earth. The control segment refers to ground control stations which monitor GPS satellites and its services. When it comes to the user segment, GPS signals are received by a number of channels

GPS units are great especially for those who travel often. This can get you to a meeting in the fastest possible way by avoiding traffic or simply keeping you right on course when heading to a place for the very first time.

Lately, some outdoor enthusiasts have found other things to do with this device. Here are some examples that could get you interested enough to try it out. 

The first is called geocaching. Since satellites can detect the presence of minerals on the ground, you can use this and the metal detector to go treasure hunting. Unfortunately, it can only read up to a few feet so you shouldn’t expect to find much except perhaps some old jewelry or coins.

Another interesting outdoor hobby is hiking. You can walk for miles up and down the mountain, trek in the marshlands or the desert then get lost. The GPS unit can help the group get to base camp instead of walking around in circles hopefully before it gets dark. The nice thing about this device is that those who go off course can be alerted at once so a correction can be made.

For hunters and fishermen, the GPS unit is helpful in locating where such prey frequent. This is much better than guessing a good spot since the odds of finding them are pretty slim without the proper information. 

Ever wondered how skydivers are able to land on the assigned drop zone? Aside from directing the chute into the area, GPS units are also used to make the corrections. By getting the longitude and latitude, all you have to do is fight off the wind and then glide in for a smooth landing. 

Passengers on board ships and planes can also bring the GPS while sailing or in mid air. This can aid you when sailing the ship or for those who want to know how far she is to the nearest land mass. Since planes have this on the television set of each seat, there is no need anymore to turn this on during the flight.

Soon, GPS units will be commonplace just like the cellphones and pagers that are carried by people. This will also be smaller and can be fully integrated into other electronic systems. There are times that the signal of the GPS receiver may not work but this too shall be solved.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System, and is a fairly new technology that is starting to see widespread use in various fields. Originally made with military purposes in mind, GPS units utilize satellites which orbit the earth to track special transmitters on the planet's surface and find them, allowing a GPS computer to track the transmitter's location anywhere on the globe and even place it on a digitized map.

GPS systems are composed of three major parts. The first part is the space system, which is composed of the actual physical satellites which orbit the planet and whose purpose is to send and recieve data from the other two components, which are the Control system and the Transmitter system. The number of satellites for a full working GPS requires that at least 6 satellites at any one time have full line of sight to any and every location on the earth's surface.

The actual Control system of a GPS network is composed of a series of ground based installations which monitor frequencies from the satellites, as well as uploading commands to the satellites. The main base which acts as the hub for all worldwide GPS control centers is located in a Master Control Station in Colorado.

The user segment is perhaps the easiest part of a GPS system. It is a small transmitter which sends and receives signals from the satellites and allows the user to be tracked globally. Whereas before this technology was fairly bulky, recent advances have made transmitters so small that they can be integrated into car radios and cellular telephones.

One of the civilian uses for a GPS is navigation. Where before people who got lost in the wilderness had to rely on a conventional map and compass for finding out where they were, a modern GPS unit plugged into a laptop can display a fully digitized map and show the user's location. This use of the GPS has also found it's way into aviation and shipping travel, making it much easier for ships to navigate across oceans and aircraft to determine their location accurately.

Another use of the GPS is in modern cars; GPS units in cars allows people to not only find out where they are; it also includes rough street maps and even information on the approximate speed the car is travelling and distance travelled within a specified length of time. While this is no real replacement for a speedometer, it does have it's uses for people who want to regulate their gas mileage.

Naturally, the broadcast signals of a GPS satellite differ between civilian and military useage. Regular civilian signals also include a clock which gives the accurate time for the time zone where the transmitter is located. Civilian GPS units can also monitor the position of the satellites and the number of satellites accessible at a given location. Military signals are heavily coded and, for obvious reasons, transmit much more detailed data than civilian signals.

The process of determining a unit's location on a GPS isn't completely accurate, but is at least close enough to offer approximates. The transmitters send periodic pulses to all detected satellites in range, and the Control installations monitor the time spent from when the pulse is first emitted to when it "bounces back" to the user's unit. This gives the control tower a good estimate of the distance of the unit from ONE satellite. By meshing the data from all satellites which recieved the signal, the control computers can then triangulate the position of the user's unit on the global map.

While this offers only an approximate location of a GPS user unit, the approximate is still far more accurate than the general estimates made by more classic navigational methods. For example, triangulation using a map, a compass, and landmarks on the map will often place a person's location at a deviation of 50 to 100 meters (or more) from the actual location, depending on things like the scale of the map, the nearness of the landmarks, and the magnetic accuracy of the compass. this doesn;t even take into account human error.

GPS units, on the other hand, have a deviation of only 5 meters at most for atmpspheric interference, 2 meters for satellite clock timing errors, 1 meter for distortion errors causes by other radio signals, and half a meter for local terrain interference from buildings and trees. So assuming worst case scenario, a user's location will be 8 and a half (maybe 10 on a bad day) meters away from his actual position. Compared to fumbling with a compass, map, or star and tidal charts, this makes the GPS an essential modern tool for navigation. looking for an easy dollar center here linkan address its first joined, my income has reached $ 13.65 check payment proof click here want to come join click here

All About The Global Positioning System GPS


Technology continues to improve and become better as the years go by. The last decade alone has seen tremendous innovations and breakthroughs when it comes to technology and its use in different fields. Perhaps what is most remarkable is that technological gadgets and advancements are now becoming more and more mainstream as devices are being made for mass consumers in mind. Nowadays a regular person has access to technology and gadgets that would seem like science fiction to an era just a few decades ago.

Global Positioning System or GPS for example. While this system was initially developed by the Department of Defense, civilians can now use this technology and benefit greatly from it. Even before individuals had access to personal GPS devices, airplanes were using this system to navigate the skies. The GPS is able to aid in navigation by means of several satellites orbiting the earth specifically for this purpose. 

The communication between the satellites and the receiver allows the GPS device to calculate its exact location. That's why even if you aren't a pilot, you can benefit from a GPS device if you like to hike or trek in the outdoors. Instead of a compass, utilize a GPS device to be able to tell exactly where you are. The GPS device will help you navigate through the outdoors with precision that a compass may not be able to give. 

That is, you will need to learn about declination and be able to compute the difference between the magnetic north and the true north when using a compass. With a GPS device however, you can be assured that given that it is working correctly, it will give you a very precise description of your location and help you navigate your way. Any errors that may incur from the GPS has been anticipated and corrected appropriately.

GPS systems are also used in cars to be able to help drivers navigate new territory. Having a good and updated GPS system installed in the car eliminates the need for deciphering a map. A map can be difficult to manage especially because it is difficult if not dangerous to consult your map while driving. A GPS device in your car serves as an interactive map, which you can use while driving so that you can easily navigate your way anywhere.

With all the benefits of GPS to everyday life, we can expect the technology to get better and become more in demand.

Buying The Right GPS For Everyday Use
People who are on the road often need something better to guide them along the way. Instead of looking at a map, the best thing to have is a GPS satellite receiver. There are many brands to choose from when selecting this unit from the store. Some of the popular brands are Garmin, Magellan, Holux and Luxor.

Here are some things to keep in mind when buying


You should ask about the product features of the receiver. Aside from giving road directions, does it also show the terrain of the area? How big is it and how much does it weigh? Does it operate using rechargeable batteries or should they be replaced by new ones?

Another thing to think about is the size of the screen. Of course, how big the unit is will affect that but it won't be a problem if you can zoom in or out. Drivers should keep their eyes on the road and just take a short glance but given this is also unsafe, the ideal device should have a voice warning system. This will inform you where to make a turn and how many miles left to the desired destination. 

All GPS manufacturers will claim that it has all the necessary information stored in its computer memory. This may true but can the unit be updated? The more popular brands can do this because it can be hooked up to the Internet.

The most important factor in choosing a GPS unit is if the device is user friendly. Looking at what is available and asking the clerk some questions isn't the answer. You should pick it up and scroll down the menu to see if this can work. This is like putting on an new pair of shoes or putting on a shirt since it is such a hassle to return it later on. 

The price of the GPS device varies on the market. You can get one of the low end models or choose the unit that has color and other features. This decision really depends on the budget but those who are able to do some research and compare it with those that are available will surely make a wise decision and use it whenever it is needed. Those who need it should go to the nearest store and get one now.
