The graticule‚ the mesh formed by the lines of constant latitude and constant longitude‚ is constructed by reference to the rotation axis of the Earth. The primary reference points are the poles where the axis of rotation of the Earth intersects the reference surface. Planes which contain the rotation axis intersect the surface in the meridians and the angle between any one meridian plane and that through Greenwich (the Prime Meridian) defines the longitude: meridians are lines of constant longitude

GPS AND TRIANGULATION GPS calculation works on the principle of the receiver (example the handheld GPS receiver on car or mobile) calculating the distance of that receiver from a set of known points. 1) The receiver needs to receive a straight line signal (also called line of sight) from the known point without reflection. The best things that can do that are satellites overhead. 2) To enable that‚ the US department of defence has setup 24 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. They are called the

LOCATION "Where are we?" is the question that the theme Location answers. Location may be absolute or it may be relative. These locations‚ whether relative or absolute‚ may be of people or places. An absolute location is a latitude and longitude (a global location) or a street address (local location). Florence‚ AL is 34o46’ North latitude and 87.40’ West longitude Paris‚ France is 48o51’ North latitude and 2.20’ East longitude Marshall Islands are 10o00’ North latitude and 165o00’

The Waste Land is a poem written in a post-world war society which describes a series of characters‚ settings‚ and relationships‚ the majority of which are sterile and desolate. Appleyard considers the mood that dominates the poem‚ “The one connecting device is a mood of despair‚ of barren dislocation”. Within the Waste Land Eliot persistently presents a modern world which is full of isolation and despair using each of the portraits of either settings‚ characters or through the depiction of relationships

GPS came to be and how it is used in every day air travel. The paper will also explain how the GPS systems improve the Air Cargo industry in tracking the shipment from one hub to another. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of navigation based on the integration of 24 satellites‚ 21 working systems and 3 backups‚ that relay information regarding craft position and velocity to users (Colborn‚ 1992). First initiated as a program by the US Department of Defense through their Navstar
