Gps Systems.
The Fundamentals of the Global Positioning System
Introduction
The Global Positioning System or the GPS is known for making its users reach their destination accurately without the use of paper maps. The GPS system makes the lives of their users a lot easier because of this, not to mention that this system is also user friendly. A lot of our new technology and devices these days are meant to make our lives easier and allow its users to become more productive and efficient, but are these devices as easy to make, as they are easy to use?
According to Raju: “The NAVSTAR GPS (Navigation System with Time and Raging Global Positioning System) is a satellite based radio navigation system providing precise three-dimensional position, course and time information to suitably equipped user. GPS has been under development in the USA since 1973. The US department of Defense as a worldwide navigation and position resource for military as well as civilian use for 24 hours and all weather conditions primarily developed it.” (Fundamentals of GPS, 2003, p. 122). Throughout the ages, this NAVSTAR GPS Network has slowly evolved and adapted newer and better terrestrial system, which is called the DR System. (Goodwin, 2010) This system serves as the vehicle’s odometer and is currently used as a selection from accelerometers, compasses, and gyros to acquire these materials. (Goodwin, 2010)
Buyers should use GPS Systems in their cars because of the different features that it gives its users that will make their travel easier, how feasible it is for them to update and acquire different routes for their travel while owning a sturdy, user friendly and capable unit.
Body
The GPS System is one of the current technologies that have been craved for by drivers worldwide. These units allow driver easy access to different routes without having to look at a paper map, gives different features that allow the user efficient traveling experience and many more different features that
