Q: What is GPS?
A. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Created by the US military and subsequently made available for commercial use, it employs a series of satellites that enable a receiver on the earth to calculate its position very accurately.
A typical GPS receiver calculates its position using the signals from four or more GPS satellites. These values are then turned into more user-friendly forms, such as latitude/longitude or location on a map, then displayed to the user.
