GPS

Global Positioning System

GPS,

or the Global Positioning System,

is a satellite-based navigation system

developed by the United States

Department of Defense.

The system is made up

of 24 main satellites that orbit the Earth,

transmitting radiowave signals to the ground

which can be used by GPS receivers

to calculate a precise location.
