What is GPS?

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-navigation system, consisting of 24 satellites and ground support. GPS provides users with accurate information about their position and velocity, as well as the time, anywhere in the World and in all weather conditions.

This is a relatively new technology that has changed the way we navigate or travel.  In the past, we used traditional road maps.  Today, GPS provides us with the capability to navigate from one site to another with turn-by-turn assistance.
