  2. Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System

    It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provide geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. [4] It does not require the user to transmit any data, and operates independently of any telephone or Internet ...

  3. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    A GPS receiver processes the GPS signals received on its antenna to determine position, velocity and/or timing. The signal at antenna is amplified, down converted to baseband or intermediate frequency, filtered (to remove frequencies outside the intended frequency range for the digital signal that would alias into it) and digitalized; these ...

  4. Satellite navigation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_device

    Vehicle navigation on a personal navigation assistant Garmin eTrex10 edition handheld. A satellite navigation device or satnav device, also known as a satellite navigation receiver or satnav receiver or simply a GPS device, is a user equipment that uses satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) or similar global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

  5. Satellite navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation

    The United States' Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of up to 32 medium Earth orbit satellites in six different orbital planes. The exact number of satellites varies as older satellites are retired and replaced. Operational since 1978 and globally available since 1994, GPS is the world's most utilized satellite navigation system.

    1992: Voice assisted GPS navigation system on the Toyota Celsior. 1993: The Austrian channel ORF airs a presentation of the software company bitMAP and its head Werner Liebig's invention, an electronic city map including street names and house numbers, using a satellite-based navigation system. bitMAP attends Comdex in Las Vegas the same year ...

  7. GNSS applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_applications

    A GPS receiver in civilian automobile use. Air navigation systems usually have a moving map display and are often connected to the autopilot for en-route navigation. Cockpit-mounted GNSS receivers and glass cockpits are appearing in general aviation aircraft of all sizes, using technologies such as SBAS or DGPS to increase accuracy.

  8. GPS disciplined oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_disciplined_oscillator

    A GPS disciplined oscillator unit with a GPS antenna input, 10 MHz and 1 pulse-per-second (PPS) outputs, and an RS-232 interface.. A GPS clock, or GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO), is a combination of a GPS receiver and a high-quality, stable oscillator such as a quartz or rubidium oscillator whose output is controlled to agree with the signals broadcast by GPS or other GNSS satellites.

  9. Vehicle tracking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_tracking_system

    Vehicle OBD tracking systems make use of OBD GPS trackers that plug into the onboard diagnostic (OBD) port of light, medium, or heavy-duty vehicle. A cellular OBD GPS tracker directly communicates with the cell tower for sending the location and other vehicle performance data to the server over the cellular wireless network.
