What is a GPS  ?

GPS stands for Global Positioning System . A GPS system goes inside of a car to help people with directions while they are driving. Man people rely on their GPS systems to get them around the city when they are driving.

GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

Whenever you rent a car with a navigation system, you are utilizing GPS. GPS is made possible by satellites that circle the earth and transmit signals indicating the position of physical features such as mountains, buildings and roads. Different regions of the world have their own satellites, but there is now a cooperative effort under way to coordinate the various services so that they are universally useful.
 A new line of jewelry from Cuff is equipped with tiny wireless chips that link 

to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. Pressing on the jewelry in case of 

emergency sends an alert and your location to pals in your 'Cuff circle.'

How it works

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once the user's position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time and more.
