GPS has been used since the late 90's in aviation. Up till recently it was used as a supplement for ground based radio beacons (known as VORS - Very high frequency Omnidirectional Radio beacons - VORs are connected to each other by radio legs and form highways in the sky). With the eventual complete use of GPS, an aircraft can fly directly from one airport to another without having to follow the VOR highways which sometimes take planes on out the way courses. GPS will also be used in the future by air traffic control to separate aircraft on their trips. Right now ground based radar shows controllers the positions of planes to keep them separated. In the future, each plane will determine its location with GPS, transmit the location to air traffic control as well as other planes, and radar will no longer be required
