HOW DOES GPS USE SATELLITES?
GPS is navigation technology, which relies upon satellites to focus in upon
a specific location. GPS incorporates the use of 24 satellites, each of
which orbits Earth once every 12 hours. Every satellite involved in the GPS
technology is located 12000 miles above the Earth’s surface. Each satellite
travels at 7000 miles per hour.
WHERE DOES GPS WORK?
GPS works anywhere in the World and at any time.
HOW DOES GPS WORK WITH THE GIZMONDO

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GPS?
GPS was originally intended for military use. However, over the last twenty
years its purpose has extended into the consumer market.
HOW DOES GPS WORK?
There are 24 satellites available for use within the commercial world.
These 24 GPS satellites are continually emitting signals towards the Earth’s
surface, so when you want to find out a specific location the satellites
closest to this location emit their signal to a GPS receiver. The GPS receiver
decodes these signals from the satellites and as a result can calculate a
location, speed and time.
