What are GPS satellite tracking systems?

miffy42

The Global Positioning System, usually called GPS, is the only fully-functional satellite navigation system. A constellation of more than two dozen GPS satellites broadcasts precise timing signals by radio, allowing any GPS receiver (abbreviated to GPSr) to accurately determine its location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) in any weather, day or night, anywhere on Earth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS Oct 14 06, 4:47 PM
