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.
