For a detailed map of all disputed regions in South Asia, see Image:India disputed areas map.svg Internal borders The borders of the state of Meghalaya, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are shown as interpreted from the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, but has yet to be verified.
The system was developed partly because access to foreign government-controlled global navigation satellite systems is not guaranteed in hostile situations, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 when the United States denied an Indian request for Global Positioning System (GPS) data for the Kargil region, which would have provided vital information.

The difference is known as the drift, and can be determined by the wind triangle. At least seven ways to measure the heading of a vehicle have been described. [1] Heading is typically based on cardinal directions, so 0° (or 360°) indicates a direction toward true north, 90° true east, 180° true south, and 270° true west. [1]
The wind triangle describes the relationships among the quantities used in air navigation. When two of the three vectors, or four of the six components, are known, the remaining quantities can be derived. The three principal types of problems to solve are: Solve for the ground vector. This type of problem arises when true heading and true ...
The extreme points of India include the coordinates that are further north, south, east or west than any other location in India; and the highest and the lowest altitudes in the country. The northernmost point claimed by India is in territory disputed between India and Pakistan , and administered partially by both.
BeiDou Coordinate System, China Terrestrial Reference Frame (CTRF) 2000 = ITRF97 at epoch 2000.0; own implementation. GLONASS PZ-90.11 is nominally its own system, but is quite close to ITRF and uses many of the same techniques. [2] National systems: United States: WGS 84 (see above); domestic use is mainly based on NAD 83 instead.
If a fast time to first fix (TTFF) is needed, it is possible to upload a valid ephemeris to a receiver, and in addition to setting the time, a position fix can be obtained in under ten seconds. It is feasible to put such ephemeris data on the web so it can be loaded into mobile GPS devices. [ 6 ]
