The GPS or Global Positioning System is a sophisticated satellite geolocation system that was invented in the United States for military purposes in the 1970s, but today it is used all over the world.
Functioning :
The principle of operation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) is based on measuring the distance from the receiver to several satellites. Each satellite emits a signal which is picked up by the receiver on Earth (three signals to obtain the point of intersection of the three spheres and a fourth for the synchronization of time), which makes it possible to measure its geographical position very precisely.
