Dec 14, 2011 · The idea of going somewhere without satellite positioning and maps at your fingertips — or snapping photos without geotagging data — can be as alien to people these days as hitching up a wagon...

Nov 6, 2018 · I mentioned before that the Global Positioning System (GPS) does not require mobile data, but I still get queries regarding "GPS cannot be used without a data plan". In this post, I will clear that doubt and also show you how to use GPS and map apps when travelling without data roaming.
Jun 17, 2021 · In the past, GPS has let you know your location to within about 10 to 33 feet of where you actually are. With the new sats, it’ll be more like 3 to 10 feet.
GPS III SVs will introduce new capabilities to meet higher demands of both military and civilian users. It brings the full capability to use M-Code in support of warfighter operations. GPS III nominal M-Code capability exceeds maximum GPS IIF and GPS IIR M-Code capability (Flex power without P(Y) code).

The global positioning system was originally created by the United State for military use, but was eventually opened up to civilian use. At least 24 GPS satellites are always in orbit around the Earth, and they’re constantly broadcasting data. The satellites are arranged in orbit such that four satellites are visible in the sky from any point on Ea...
A device with built-in GPS – whether it’s a dedicated in-car GPS navigation unit or a smartphone – only acts as a GPS receiver. A device with GPS isn’t actually “contacting” satellites to determine its location. Instead, it’s just listening for the radio signals that are being broadcast from these satellites all the time. A GPS receiver “listens” f...
GPS isn’t the only way devices can estimate your current location. The 911 service uses cell tower strength information to triangulate the position of mobile phones. This works in a similar way – by measuring the signal strength differences between multiple cell towers, your device can estimate your current location. Some devices can also use a Wi-...
