This document discusses GPS (Global Positioning System) and its applications. It outlines the objectives to explore how GPS is used in daily life and discover people's habits. It divides the work among three people covering introduction, applications, future development, surveys and analysis. It includes a mind map and discusses current GPS uses in navigation, tracking, Google Maps and more. Charts show survey results on common GPS uses and whether respondents have used it before. The conclusion covers GPS's benefits like efficiency but also limitations like cost and battery dependence.

22. Conclusion
• Positive
- Efficient and comfortable for immediate use
- Save time
- Makes navigation easier
- Fast Speed
- The area searched accounts for an enormous map
- Street Views, transportation and directions can be shown
• Negative
- Expensive
- Needs batteries (handheld ones)
- Wireless is required
- The detection of location may be wrong
Fleet Management--by knowing the location of their trucks, transport companies can reduce costs by planning more efficient routes for pickup and delivery. · Public Transportation Management – GPSwill enable public transit systems to track their bus fleets accurately, know how to redirect them when traffic accidents cause traffic delays, and enable systems to efficiently manage their fleets and avoid such issues as two buses on the same route pulling up to the same bus stop only a minuteapart.· Farming – allow farmers to accurately control and manage their land. GPS can be tied into remotely controlled farm equipment to improve the efficiency of farming equipment.· Recreational Boating – GPS navigation systems are beginning to replace existing navigation systems and are considered safer and more accurate.· Localized Information – provide information such as locations of the nearest gas stations, hotels or four-star restaurants direct to a cellular phone.· Emergency Services – allow emergency responders to accurately know the location of a victim to help speed response to incidents.· Network Management Location - based billing and more efficient network planning for carriers. To provide a solution for deforestation (i.e. calculating deforestation rate) To help in cultivation (i.e. exploring empty lands)
