Global Positioning System
navigation system that works by a worldwide networks of satellites, car navigation system
GPS is an abbreviation for global positioning system. GPS operates best near the equator. a GPS receiver. Global Positioning System. gallons per second. Global Positioning System a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show your exact position on the Earth on a special piece of equipment
Global Positioning Satellite: A space base radio position, navigation and time transfer system continuing to be developed by the U S Department of Defense When fully deployed, the system is intended to provide highly accurate position and velocity information and precise time, on a continual basis, to an unlimited number of properly equipped subscribers The system will be unaffected by weather and will provide a worldwide common grid reference system The GPS concept is predicated upon accurate and continuous knowledge of the spatial position of each satellite in the system with respect to time and distance from a transmitting satellite to the user The GPS receiver automatically selects appropriate signals from the satellites in view and translates these into a three-dimensional position, velocity and time, Predictable system accuracy for civil users is projected to be 100 meters horizontally Performance standards and certification criteria have not yet been established
Global Positioning System GPS is a satellite- based navigation system
Global Positioning System: A series of 24 geosynchronous satellites that continuously transmit their position Used in personal tracking, navigation and automatic vehicle location technologies (Back to top )
Abr Global positioning system (qv)
Global Positioning System A network of 24 radio transmitting satellites (NAVSTAR) developed by the US Department of Defense to provide accurate geographical position fixing
Global Positioning System; an array of satellites, deployed and maintained by the U S Department of Defense, which can be monitored to triangulate an accurate position on the earth's surface
Global Positioning System Also refers to Global Positioning Satellite A system using satellites, receivers and software to allow users to determine their exact geographic position
(Geographic Positioning System): A satellite system used to determine geographic position and deviation Campbell Scientific dataloggers can interrogate some GPS receivers then store the GPS position data
a navigational system involving satellites and computers that can determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth by computing the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver
Global Positioning Satellite (System)
Global Positioning System is a satellite base radio positioning system that uses the US's NAVSTAR system to accurately provide positioning, velocity and time information to GPS device users
Global Positioning Unit or System
Global Positioning System, GPS is a space-based navigation and positioning system Receivers in conjuction with fixed orbit satellites are used to determine a location on the earth
– Global Positioning System, a series of 24 geosynchronous satellites that continuously transmit their position Used for personal tracking, navigation and automatic vehicle location technologies
Global Positioning System A receiver that calculates its absolute geographic position by determining its relative position to a set of at least three satellites
GPS refers to satellite-based radio positioning systems that provide 24 hour three-dimensional position, velocity and time information to suitably equipped users anywhere on or near the surface of the Earth (and sometimes off the earth) GPS technology is used in a wide range of applications, including maritime, environmental, navigational, tracking and monitoring
= Global Positioning System
Global Positioning System (see GNS)
Global Positioning System - A worldwide radio-navigation system that was developed by the US Department of Defense In addition to military purposes it is widely used in marine, terrestrial navigation and location based services
Global Positioning System The GPS is a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth twice a day
Global Positioning System; a collection of Earth-orbiting satellites In a more common context, GPS actually refers to a GPS receiver which uses a mathematical principle called "trilateration" that can tell you exactly where you are on Earth at any moment
Global Positioning Satellite or Global Positioning System
Global Position System Satellite navigation, which gives yachts exact latitude and longitude position The update race is one second
Global Positioning Satellite Satellite-based radio positioning systems that provide 24 hour three-dimensional position, velocity and time information to suitably equipped users anywhere on or near the surface of the Earth (and sometimes off the earth) GPS is a 24 satellite constellation, 20,000 Km above the earth in six orbital planes The NAVSTAR system, operated by the U S Department of Defense, was the first GPS system widely available to civilian users
GPS receiver
An audiovisual device, fitted to a civilian road vehicle, that uses the military Global Positioning System as an aid to navigation
GPS receivers
plural form of GPS receiver
gps receiver
A device that includes an antenna, a radio receiver, and a processor for use with the worldwide GPS (Global Positioning System). A GPS receiver uses position and time information from four GPS satellites to calculate precise information about its current location, its speed of travel, and the current time. A portable GPS receiver may be a stand-alone device or plug-in unit for use with a portable computer. GPS receivers are used for scientific work, such as surveying, mapping, and studies of volcanoes, as well as for land, sea, and air navigation. On the consumer front, they are used in outdoor activities such as hiking and sailing and in cars to provide location, destination, and traffic information. See also GPS
