What do you know about GPS? Write a few applications of GPS.

Explanation

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a global navigation satellite system that offers geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth. GPS system works with the assistance of a satellite network. Each of these satellites broadcasts a precise signal like an ordinary radio signal. These signals that convey the location data are received by a low-cost aerial which is then translated by the GPS software. The software is able to recognize the satellite, its location, and the time taken by the signals to travel from each satellite
The software then processes the data it accepts from each satellite to estimate the location of the receiver
Applications Global positioning system is highly useful many fields such as fleet vehicle management (for tracking cars, trucks and buses), wildlife management (for counting of wild animals) and engineering (for making tunnels, bridges etc).
