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.
