Finding the Best GPS

 

Best GPS - GPS's are becoming standard for all vehicles, especially if you move your car a bit further than the few miles around you house that you know by heart.

If you've ever experienced the frustration of trying to find your way in dense traffic in a strange place, and know how difficult - and dangerous! - it can be to read a road atlas whilst you should really be watching the traffic and concentrate on driving, then you will appreciate the freindly voice directing you uncanningly to your destination.

Having an GPS mounted in your car means: Easy crusing instead of hectic and dangerous hunting for roads, street signs and the correct turn!

GPS - An explanation how this works: 

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The GPS uses a constellation of at least 24 (32 by March 2008) Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine their location, speed, direction, and time. GPS was developed by the United States Department of Defense. Its official name is NAVSTAR-GPS. Although NAVSTAR-GPS is not an acronym, a few backronyms have been created for ithttp://www.abbreviations.com/NAVSTAR. The GPS satellite constellation is managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing.

Similar satellite navigation systems include the Russian GLONASS (incomplete as of 2008), the upcoming European Galileo positioning system, the proposed COMPASS navigation system of China, and IRNSS of India.

Following the shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983, President Ronald Reagan issued a directive making the system available free for civilian use as a common good. Since then, GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, and hobbies such as geocaching. GPS also provides a precise time reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and synchronization of telecommunications networks.
