K-8 The Global Positioning Units or GPS Units are a navigational technology that relies on the signals from satellites to determine exact position anywhere in the world. GPS is a system of 24 satellites that circle the Earth twice a day and transmit information to earth. A GPS receiver processes satellite signals that enables it to compute position, velocity, and time. Once position is fixed, navigation to any point is possible. GPS has the capability to display a map of a geographical area. You see where you are in relation to the features on the map.
