GPS and GIS are two pieces used in technology by geographers. GPS stands for Global Position System. A GPS finds the precise location of something of someplace on earth. In the US there are three parts of a GPS. The first part of GPS is the satellites. There are multiple orbiting satellites over the earth placed by the US military. The second part of GPS is the tracking stations. There are tracking stations that control and monitor satellites. The third part of GPS is a receiver. A receiver locates

A GPS receiver should be locked on to the signal of not less than three satellites to work out a 2D location (latitude and longitude) and path movement. With at least four or additional satellites in view‚ the receiver can resolve the user ’s 3D location (altitude‚ longitude and latitude). Once

The mercator projection was made in 1569 and this was a map projection that showed latitude and longitude as straight lines. Also the sextant‚ which was made about the 1500’s then remodeled in 1730‚ was an interesting. This device was for determining the altitude of the sun or stars. 8.

done by determining its absolute location and relative location. The absolute location of a place is determined by its latitude and longitude. Latitude lines measure distances north and south of the equator‚ while longitude measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The absolute location for New Zealand is as follows: Latitude: 44.0563° South Longitude: 170.3542° East Now‚ let’s determine the county’s relative location.

Is the sextant a carthorse in the 21st century? Abstract The purpose of this report is to decide whether the sextant is outdated and effectively useless in the modern age or whether it still has a use in modern navigation. To decide this I explored modern navigation techniques‚ which is mostly done by global positioning systems‚ I researched the way that these work and the methodology behind the use of a sextant. The conclusion that I came to was that modern day sextant use is rare
