GPS is a navigational system that can accurately locate your position anytime, anywhere, and regardless of weather on Earth.

The handheld GPS receiver processes data from several satellites to "triangulate" the receiver's exact location, using latitude and longitude.

GPS has a number of important applications such as search and rescue missions, helping pilots avoid collisions, and accurate application of farm fertilizers and other chemicals. Recreational uses include a navigational tool for orienteering, hiking, hot air ballooning, boating and many other activities. GPS provides any point on earth with a unique address (its precise location).
