Global Positioning System (GPS) - Connecting Beyond Borders

M. Vinay, Farah Wahaj

Abstract


GPS systems are incredibly adaptable, and they may be found in nearly every industry. GPS is now used to map forests, assist farmers in harvesting their crops, and guide airline pilots on the ground and in the air. Military applications and emergency teams both rely on positioning systems to locate persons in need of aid. GPS technology is used in a wide range of applications that we don't generally think about.
