GPS was developed and used by the US military, and now it is available to the general public. As the computer technology progresses, the GPS devices become more advanced and sophisticated. At the same time, the GPS is not a geek gadget as it once was. Modern cars are now equipped with a GPS and is now becoming a standard feature of the demanding consumer. The prices on modern GPS devices are significantly dropping, and more affordable that ever.
The GPS system was developed and funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. The cost of putting GPS satellites into orbit was covered by the U.S. government.
GPS signal jammers are portable devices that literally means gadgets that stop a GPS tracking device from receiving the signal that without which they cannot pick up their position. They emit their own signal at the frequency that GPS tracking devices use, which confuses or blocks other GPS signals.
Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
For the most of my life we didn't have GPS and I will tell you that you needed a map to find out where you want to go. Maps are still very good to have because the information you get from MapQuest or other apps like it are not always accurate. GPS was developed by the military so troops could find out where they were in places like Iraq.
Not yet!!! But it is being developed by a chinese company. The same one developed a software gps tracking for nintendo ds. Hopefully will come soon!!!
Not sure which company actually built the first GPS hardware, but the GPS system was first developed for, and used by, the US Military (US Department of Defense) in 1973.

It is not a brand new GPS system. It was developed at the latest in 2006, which is the year that this review (see link) was written. http://www.gpsreview.net/lowrance-iway-500c/

lazors, GPS, radar, and sonar are all examples of things developed for war that are used today
Nothing. A gps is the same as a gps.
