3. Explain the major uses of GPS? Explain
about any one.
Answers
Answer:
the major use of GPS are location , Navigation, Tracking, Mapping , Timing .
Answer:
Global Positioning System applications generally fall into 5 major categories:
Location – determining a position
Navigation – getting from one location to another
Tracking – monitoring object or personal movement
Mapping – creating maps of the world
Timing – bringing precise timing to the world
In every case, uses of GPS are based on measuring the individual’s distance from multiple satellites. GPS is just one of several groups of satellites used to determine a position. Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and GPS are the four main satellite constellations used worldwide. Technologies use signals from these satellites to measure the individual’s distance from these satellites. The Introduction to GNSS on-demand webinar series explains in more detail how these calculations are done. Through these measurements, GPS technologies can identify where an individual is in the world and how to navigate to another location.
GPS is used to calculate very specific and precise timing thanks to the rubidium clocks on each satellite. These clocks enable the satellites to know their precise location at very precise times, and this timing information is used in various applications including marine hydrography, autonomous vehicles and precision agriculture.
