What is the function of the navigation satillite?

Answer 1

Satellite Navigation The U.S. govt launched satellites that triangulate any spot on the globe and give your location if you have the device that receives their signal. For further clarification, GPS receiver units time a signal sent from a satellite and through the use of extremely accurate clocks, calculate the time it took for the signal to reach the receiver from the satellite. Knowing the speed that these signals travel allows the receiver to calculate a distance from the satellite which results in a line of position (LOP). Obtaining a minimum of three of these LOPs allows the receiver to accurately determine the receiver's position on the face of the earth. Having a fourth LOP will also allow the determination of the elevation, or height, of the receiver.

Answer 2

This is a device that uses satellites to pinpoint your location, and provide you with instructions to your routes. These come in different sized devices, from very small to rather large, easy to read dash mounted units.

Answer 3

Navigation satellites provide location information to devices such as GPS receivers by constantly transmitting signals that can be used to determine the device's position on Earth with high accuracy. This information allows users to navigate and determine their exact location anywhere on the planet.

Answer 4

From its name you can understand that it helps with - navigation. It is the basis of GPS (global positioning system).

Answer 5

The function of a navigation satellite is to provide direction for people who sail or fly. It will rely on GPS to give direction guidance.
