What does position have to do with Global Positioning System?

GPS provides position/location information. It is similar to that the phone company can track you phone location with the signal strength received by at least 2 cell phone towers. If only one cell phone tower, the phone signal can only be interpreted as that the phone is somewhere in the circle of a known radius, assuming at ground level. With two cell phone towers, the phone signal can be narrowed to two possible locations. With three cell phone towers, the phone location is narrowed down to a small region, say within a city block. In the GPS, the cell phone towers are replaced by satellites. A hand-held GPS unit can use the signals from 4 satellites to calculate the coordinates (x,y,z) of the location and also how fast the unit is moving.

Check For Local Cell Phone Comparisons And Reviews?

When most people look into getting a new cell phone and the service that goes with it, they only check the large websites that cover national cell phone comparisons and reviews. However, cell phone service in a reviewers location is not always anything like what you'll get where you live. Talk to people near you and check local sites to find out how different cell phone carriers compare before you choose your phone. A cell phone that will perform wonderfully in a major city may not be the best phone for you if you live somewhere with spotty service.
