Types of GPS Devices
Introduction
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized the way we navigate the world. Once a tool primarily used by the military, GPS has become an integral part of civilian life, offering various devices tailored to different needs.
Historical Background
The journey of GPS began when Russia launched Sputnik in the late 1950s. Observers realized they could determine its location through radio waves?"sparking the seed of GPS technology. In the 1960s, the U.S. Navy utilized this technology, using satellites to help submarines find their positions. The modern GPS system, implemented by the United States Department of Defense, saw its first operational satellite launched in 1978. By the mid-1990s, a constellation of 24 satellites was fully operational, and all continue to function today.
