GPS Navigation & Cell Phones
Written by Administrator

The Global Positioning System (GPS) can show your exact position on Earth any time, anywhere, in any weather.

GPS navigation systems consist of a constellation of 24 satellites (with about 6 "spares") that orbit 11,000 nautical miles above Earth’s surface and continuously send signals to ground stations that monitor and control GPS operations. GPS satellite signals can be detected by GPS receivers, which calculate their locations anywhere on Earth within less than a meter by determining distances from at least three GPS satellites. No other navigation system has ever been so global or so accurate! 

And now, the GPS tracking system is available on your CELL PHONE!

Uses for GPS tracking devices are many. Emergency Medical System personnel or Police and Fire Officials use GPS tracking to locate you quickly in an emergency. GPS is used for surveying, construction, military weapons systems, and many other applications.

And they can be used simply to provide driving directions.  There are lot's of GPS devices available in the marketplace today. Car mounted and portable GPS systems are available, and the most recent type is stored away neatly in your GPS phone!!

 

Many companies now offer GPS capability in their cell phone. When activated, your GPS phone can immediately be located by GPS tracking systems. Verizon Wireless developed the VZ Navigator which can provide directions right from your cell phone!

With VZ Navigator you never have to worry about where you are, and how to get where you want. VZ Navigator gives you voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions to your destination. If you miss a turn, it will also perform auto-rerouting to get you going in the right direction again.  The GPS tracking system can also direct you to nearly fourteen million points of interest in the U.S.A.

Why buy a complete GPS tracking system if you have one built into your cell phone?

If you are a Verizon Wireless GPS cell phone user and have not tried this out, you should!  It's really simple to operate and you subscribe to unlimited use for only $9.99 per month.  If you don't believe you will use it that often, they also make it available for $2.99 per day so you can use it for a specific trip or need!
