Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 10 page report discusses the 24-satellite Global Positioning System became fully operational in 1995 and was developed by the U.S. military to help the armed forces determine their exact locations anywhere on the planet. Each satellite transmits a regular electronic pulse, which is used by GPS devices to figure the user's latitude, longitude and elevation within 110 yards. Throughout the 1990s, GPS has served a variety of purposes and had become an essential factor in virtually all aspects of global navigation. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

of fish. It helps firefighters position the best locations to focus on. Moviemakers use it to determine the best light at certain times of the day. It also
assists aircraft pilots, sailors, the military, even deer hunters on all-terrain vehicles, in navigation. Even correctional systems take advantage of its technology to monitor criminals being tracked outside of prison
walls. What is this technology? "Global Positioning Systems," satellite-based GPS, or just plain "GPS." Global positioning systems also serve as a form of missile guidance technology that has
substantially improved defense capabilities and has been introduced into various weapons in order to improve their targeting and communications abilities. The 24-satellite
Global Positioning System became fully operational in 1995 and was developed by the U.S. military to help the armed forces determine their exact locations anywhere on the planet. Each satellite
transmits a regular electronic pulse, which is used by GPS devices to figure the users latitude, longitude and elevation within 110 yards. Throughout the 1990s, GPS has served a variety
of purposes and had become an essential factor in virtually all aspects of global navigations. In fact, according to Patterson (1997) as chip
prices continue to fall and wireless technology improves, GPS-equipped devices, which use sophisticated satellite systems to pinpoint exact locations anywhere on earth, will become ubiquitous. Patterson (1997) describes a scenario
in which millions of teenagers carrying cell phones that have been programmed to dial in GPS coordinates (longitude, latitude, and altitude) every half hour to their parents laptops or phones.
It could be the 21st-century tracking device, babysitter, even chastity belt. Fundamentals of GPS According to Granatstein (1997), just like so much other
