About GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based
navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites
placed into orbit by the United States Department of
Defense. GPS was originally intended for military
applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the
system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather
conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are
no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
