Can satellite navigation be used to locate stars?
No, satellite navigation systems like GPS are designed to locate positions on Earth based on signals from satellites in orbit. To locate stars, astronomers use telescopes and star charts to study their positions in the night sky.
Which statements describe Global Positioning Systems GPS?
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are satellite-based navigation systems that provide location and time information anywhere on Earth. They consist of a network of at least 24 satellites orbiting the planet, which transmit signals to GPS receivers on the ground. By calculating the time it takes for signals from multiple satellites to reach a receiver, GPS can determine precise geographic coordinates. GPS is widely used in various applications, including navigation, mapping, and tracking.
How many types of GPS systems are there?
There are mainly two types of GPS systems: standalone GPS devices, which are dedicated units that provide GPS navigation services, and GPS-enabled devices, such as smartphones and tablets, that have built-in GPS capabilities to provide location-based services.
How scientists use GPS to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?
Radio signals are continuously beamed from satellites to GPS ground stations, which record the exact distance between the satellites and the ground station. Over time, these distances change slightly. By recording the time it takes for the GPS ground stations to move a given distance, scientist can measure the speed at which each tectonic plate move
What is a positive effect of the advances of GPS over the compass?
The GPS can tell you your position better. by alex from austin high school the GPS gives more accurate information the gps makes a task easier
How do pilots control the direction of the airplane?
Gps, radio beacons ground based
What was the ground based system called that ships used to track lat-long before gps?
I believe you are thinking of LORAN
How does a gps satellites works?
GPS receivers are placed on the ground on opposite sides of the fault.
Where to buy Garmin approach s1 GPS watch?
The Garmin approach s1 GPS watch is a more portable alternative to the traditional car based GPS system. The portability of the GPS watch is its biggest advantage. Unfortunately it does not have all of the capabilities of a car based GPS system.

From what country is the navman gps systems based?
Navman itself is a new zealand based company. So new zealand would be the country that the navman gps system is based.
How do I know if I should get a USB gps for laptops as opposed to a different laptop gps system?
Most laptop GPS systems are USB based. It's easier than installing an internal gps.
GPS no longer works in car works in truck only?
Get a new gps.
Does a iPod touch have a GPS in it?
The iPod Touch does not GPS only the latest iPhone does.
Compare to other GPS method is there any other method can replace GPS?
Both Russia and the EU have similar satellite based systems in operation, all you need is a receiver that can decode them. There are already a few navigation receiver models that are multisystem compatible, but they are much more expensive than simple GPS only navigation receivers. Nonsatellite based navigation systems (e.g. LORAN) are much harder to use and much less accurate than GPS and the other satellite based systems similar to it.
