Cool Geography: The Global Positioning System Did you know that you can find the exact location of anywhere on Earth? It's true. You can use the Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS is a system of 24 satellites that all work together to create an exact view of Earth. Using advanced technology, these satellites compare one location to a grid of numbers and then find a location, to a great degree of accuracy! One way to take advantage of this technology is to get a GPS receiver, a little device that you can carry with you most places.
Another use for the GPS technology is to track ships at sea. You can also use the GPS system to find out the exact time, down to the fraction of a second. One of the most fun uses of the GPS system is in your car or your boat. Graphics courtesy of ArtToday. History and social studies resources. Social Studies Websites. Social Studies Sites.
