What is GPS?
Global Positioning System(GPS) is technology that can be your accurate position anywhere on the earth (latitude/longitude). You need a special GPS receiver that can receive signals from satellites.
USES OF GPS
Agriculture & forming Camera & photography Recreation
Principles of GPS
GPS employs time of arrival(TOA) ranging for user position determination Three dimensional position location via intersection of multiple spheres
Applications of GPS
ROADS&HIGHWAYS
SPACE
RAILS
AGRICULTURE
MARINE
AIVIATION
A full constellation of 24 satellites was achieved in 1994. Each satellite is built to last about 10 years. Replacements are constantly being built and launched into orbit. A GPS satellite weighs approximately 2,000 pounds and is about 17 feet across with the solar panels extended. Transmitter power is only 50 watts or less
Satellite constellation
A sufficient number of satellites,to ensure that four are always electronically visible , are required for continuous global positioning capabilities. The satellite constellation consists of the nominal 24-satellite constellation. The satellites are positioned in six earth-centred orbital planes with four satellites in each plane. The nominal orbital period of a GPS satellite is one half of a sidereal day or 11h 58min. The orbital radius is approximately 26600km. This satellite constellation provides a 24hour global navigation and time determination capability The orbital plane locations with respect to the earth are defined by the longitude of the ascending node,while the location of the satellite with in the orbital plane is defined by the mean anomaly.
Conclusion
Premium Dealers are a select number of stores that have access to the full Memory-Map range. These stores have been specially selected for their knowledge of Memory-Map and GPS navigation, they carry the largest range of Memory Map on the high street (or out of town) and you'll be able to get hands on with MemoryMap via the in store PC and receive expert advice from extremely knowledgeable staff on which products are right for your needs.
