Abstract

A system that supports the activity of moving to a place or finding a place is a navigation system. Global Positioning System (GPS) is the popular term for navigation system. GPS is a satellite system whose basic aim is to find the current location and provide directions to other locations. This paper gives an overview of GPS, its basic concepts, GPS receiver and its working. The basic concepts include trilateration and system segmentation. A simple GPS receiver requires only a screen and a compass. Now GPS is not only limited to a single country but has become a global phenomenon.

Keywords

Navigation, GPS, Trilateration, System segmentation, Location.
