Who was the originnal inventor of gps?

Answer 1

The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems,[1] integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994. Bradford Parkinson, Roger L. Easton, and Ivan A. Getting are credited for inventing it.

Answer 2

Basically this system was started or engineered first by the military for battlefield usage. Later, civilian usage came on the table and this is what you have now. Military specs can measure an object's location to less than a foot. Civilian applications only go down to a few yards.

2nd Answer:

The GPS concept was invented by Roger L. Easton, and later became of interest to the US Air Force, who eventually put up the satellites to make the GPS system work.

Civilian handheld GPS receivers, contrary to the first answer, can measure a position on the Earth's surface down to a couple inches. (Of course, not all do . . . but even the car GPS units like Tom-Tom can position you to within 3 or 4 feet.

Answer 3

originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1995.

Answer 4

GPS was created by Ivan Getting and Roger Easton along with Bradford Parkinson. The systems cost about 12 million dollars in their early stages.

Answer 5

Roger L. Easton is credited as being the inventor of the GPS concept, but it was not until the US Air Force became interested that GPS satellite were put into Earth orbit.
