Global Positioning System Consultancy
Global Positioning System or GPS enables the positioning of any point in a global framework through observations to a network of orbiting satellites. Originally designed for military use by the U.S., the information from these satellites was eventually made publicly available. At first the prime purpose was in navigation, but the surveying community soon realised that this technology could also be used for purposes of measurement.
