The two map coordinates or geodetic coordinates are latitude and longitude measured on the surface of the Earth's globe-shaped surface or at mean sea level or at the magnetic geoid.

What two basic geography question does the global positioning system help you answer?

The global positioning system (GPS) helps you answer questions about your exact location on Earth (latitude and longitude) and how to navigate to your desired destination by providing turn-by-turn directions and mapping out the route.


How is the exact location of a place determined?

Now, GPS, Global Positioning Satellite or System is used. Satellites are used to give exact position down to a few feet. Before that, latitude and longitude is determined from the sun and stars.


I would like to know what kind of distance does the calculator measure?

The distance calculator works by using the Global Positioning System to calculate the distance between two positions on the earth. The calculator can measure in yards but there are different calculators and calculators with different settings that have different measuring units.


What is the differences between gps and gprs?

The two are completely different.GPS or Global Positioning System, uses a bunch of satellites in orbit around the Earth to determine your exact location.GPRS or General Packet Radio System is a method of handling zillions of cell phone requests on a cellular network by transmitting extremely short bursts or packets of information.


What does position have to do with Global Positioning System?

GPS provides position/location information. It is similar to that the phone company can track you phone location with the signal strength received by at least 2 cell phone towers. If only one cell phone tower, the phone signal can only be interpreted as that the phone is somewhere in the circle of a known radius, assuming at ground level. With two cell phone towers, the phone signal can be narrowed to two possible locations. With three cell phone towers, the phone location is narrowed down to a small region, say within a city block. In the GPS, the cell phone towers are replaced by satellites. A hand-held GPS unit can use the signals from 4 satellites to calculate the coordinates (x,y,z) of the location and also how fast the unit is moving.
