THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation and surveying system for determination of precise position and time, using radio signals from the satellites, in real-time or in post-processing mode. GPS is being used all over the world for numerous navigational
