The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a navigation system made up of a network of satellites placed into the orbit. GPS satellites revolve the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit information in the form of signal to earth.

Comments
Hi. I'm in the UK, and haven't really needed a navigator. We have some here around $200, I don't expect they are great at that price. I have used them, of course, and if I wasn't semi-retired would get one. Useful hub again...Bob
Magellan Maestro is a great GPS System. But because of the higher rates, they are a kind of luxury for some people.
Thanks for great info. Great hub.Thanks
