    2 general description of what gps is and how it works. Gps (global positioning system) is the only system today able to show you your exact position on the earth anytime, in any weather, anywhere. Gps satellites, 24 in all, orbit at 11,000 nautical miles above the earth. They are continuously monito...

    3 although gps was designed for military use, many thousands of civi lians make use of it. The satellites actually broadcast two signals, one is only formilitary use, and the ther can be used by both military and civilians. Since gps is passive (you only need to receive the signal), there are no res...
