Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are satellite-based navigation systems that allow devices to determine precise geographic location, speed, and time by triangulating signals from orbiting satellites. GPS technology is used in countless applications, from smartphone navigation and ride-sharing apps to agriculture, aviation, surveying, and logistics tracking. Engineers and technicians working with GPS need understanding of satellite communication, signal processing, and geolocation software.
