GPS

GPS, or global positioning system, is a technology that significantly improves traveling and navigation today. This satellite-based system provides accurate geographic coordinates, wherever you may be. GPS has a number of useful functions for motorists today, from navigating long and winding city streets, to pinpointing exact locations, to tracking packages and deliveries.

Once available only for military use, GPS was developed by the US government in the 1970s to improve the navigation and location capabilities of the military, especially during the Cold War. In the 1980s, the Reagan administration permitted civilians to use GPS, after a civilian passenger jet that strayed away from its intended course was shot down. Since then, GPS technology has tremendously improved; many handheld GPS devices are available today.
