This writer once lived in the woods in England for over three years. Although I continue to listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the huge changes occurring in real life. I initially heard the alphabet soup term “GPS” while I was still living in America, but always in the area of an army or large law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about a automotive GPS in a radio adverts, I never knew what they were talking about, and failed to care to discover.

GPS mobile receivers are devices that receive signals from orbiting satellites to identify the location or geographic position. The applications of the worldwide Position System technology are very big, with GPS receivers functioning for the aviation, the sea, the army and the average purchaser. The satellites on which the receivers depend circle the world 2 times a day, and they are organized in such a way on the orbit, that at any moment of the day, four of them should be present on the obvious sky permitting one to find the right location or direction. Although at first, the system was planned for the utilization of the US army alone, it was shortly opened to the general public for individual, civilian applications.
