GPS stands for the Global Positioning System. It refers to a system of satellites and receivers that allow people and devices to pinpoint their precise location on the earth. The heart of the system relies on 24 satellites that orbit the earth twice per day. Devices that are equipped with GPS equipment receive transmissions from at least a few of the satellites and are able to discern very precise positioning data.

Global Positioning Systems For Automobiles on wiseGEEK:
• This technology allows the tracking and plotting of directions based on global positioning satellite (GPS) technology. The GPS system maps the current location with a destination to determine the fastest route.
• Telematics refers to the integration of computing, wireless communications and Global Positioning System (GPS) for sending, receiving and storing information over vast networks.

Global Positioning System Receiver on wiseGEEK:
• Most coordinate a computerized road map with a satellite link to the Global Positioning System (GPS) to display the vehicle’s location in real time. A dashboard display for vehicle navigation was a fictional idea for decades, appearing in movies featuring characters such as Batman and James Bond.
• A Bluetooth® GPS receiver is a global positioning system device that is capable of receiving Bluetooth® signals as well as the signals coming from the.

Global Positioning System Tracking on wiseGEEK:
• Global positioning system (GPS) tracking is the use of satellites along with a GPS device to track the location of a person or object on or near the surface of the earth.
• Global positioning system (GPS) technology allows people to track objects and determine exactly where they are at any given time. Sometimes, GPS technology delivers tracking information after the fact, meaning it is delayed and not current.
