How does GPS technology determine location?
How does GPS technology determine location? This is a question that must be structured like music in order for us to understand the answer. The GPS network receives messages from satellites located at many locations. This message is a time locality based message, with a unique timestamp within seconds. The GPS device compares this time-space message with other GPS satellites and local base stations, taking its direction to determine the movement interval. Through this process, GPS technology increases the certainty of location and provides users with accurate determination of their actual location.
What space technology does GPS use to find your location?
- Navigation Satellites: GPS uses navigation satellites to determine its location, which transmit various messages and time-space data.Base stations: GPS devices communicate with local base stations, which receive position and time information from satellites and transmit it to users’ devices.
