No..... there are many uses for GPS and they are not limited to ground. They are used in planes, boats and a multitude of other applications. Look at www.findvehicle.net the have a system that can be used on anything.
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.
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.
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
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
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
Gps, radio beacons ground based
I believe you are thinking of LORAN
GPS receivers are placed on the ground on opposite sides of the fault.
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.
Navman itself is a new zealand based company. So new zealand would be the country that the navman gps system is based.

Most laptop GPS systems are USB based. It's easier than installing an internal gps.
Get a new gps.
The iPod Touch does not GPS only the latest iPhone does.
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.

GPS works by triangulating a position based on the locations of satellites orbiting the earth. GPS stands for "global positioning system."
