- a lot of companies use a GPS system to track employees making deliveries, as well as to coordinate their trucks and schedules. the trucks also have the capability to use the map service for directions.
- It can help you with directions and keep you from getting lost. You are also able to mark places that you wish to return to. If you have a handheld model you can use it to find your way during outdoor activities such as hiking and can use it to take part in the treasure hunting game geocaching. visit geocaching.com
- GPS are used for - turn-by-turn driving directions - hiking - locating spots for fishing and hunting - treasure hunting (geocaching.com) - tracking movement
- GPS is a navigation system, so anywhere it is suitable it can be used. Not only is it a precise navigation system (giving position in 3 -dimensions) it also can tell the time (giving nanosecond accuracy). A GPS can be a very accurate clock. GPS is used in lots of things, aviation, agriculture, transport, mining, surveying, personal use (mobile phones etc), asset tracking, banking, tide measuring, structural deformation (building/bridge sway measuring, wind gust measuring) . Of course don't forget it's main use - military, death and destruction.
