3. INTRODUCTION
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S.owned
utility that provides users with positioning,
navigation, and timing (PNT) services.
4. SEGMENTS OF GPS
•
•
•
•
This system consists of three segments
The space segment
The control segment
The user segment
5. USES OF GPRS
•
•
The global positioning system (GPS) is a network
of satellites and receiving devices used to
determine the location of something on Earth
Some GPS receivers are so accurate they can
establish .
6. WORKING PRINCIPLE
• GPS is a system of 30+ navigation satellites circling
Earth. We know where they are because they
constantly send out signals
7. APPLICATIONS OF GPRS
• Today, GPS is used to map the location of vehicles
and other assets on various battlefields in real
time, which helps to manage resources and
protect soldiers on the ground.
8. ADVANTAGES
•
•
•
•
GPS costs you very low as compared other
navigation systems
System is updated regularly by United States
government and hence is extremely advance.
Due to its low cost, it’s very easy to integrate into
other technologies like telephone
Most attraction of this technique is its100%
coverage on earth.
9. DISADVANTAGES
•
•
•
Sometimes GPS may fail thanks to certain reasons
and therein case you would like to hold a backup
map and directions
GPS doesn’t penetrate solid walls or structures. it’s
also suffering from large constructions or sstructures.
Sometimes GPS signals are not taccurate thanks to
some obstacles to signals like buildings, trees and
sometimes by extreme atmospheric conditions like
geomagnetic storms
10. CONCLUSION
• The global positioning system is a satellite
navigation system consisting of a minimum of 24
satellites
