Well, the name kind of gives it away - Global Positioning System. Much like everything to do with technology and computers, it was originally created for military purposes, in this case the U.S. military for positioning of troops, ships etc.
Today it is still used for this, as well as for civil use. GPS is free to use for anyone with a GPS receiver.
