GPS
Global Positioning System
GPS,
or the Global Positioning System,
is a satellite-based navigation system
developed by the United States
Department of Defense.
The system is made up
of 24 main satellites that orbit the Earth,
transmitting radiowave signals to the ground
which can be used by GPS receivers
to calculate a precise location.
