Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are growing in rapidly popularity and are becoming an everyday navigational tool. You commonly see GPS installed in a vehicle but it is also available in a hand help form that is similar to size of a pocket PC or cell phone. GPS units have the ability to be loaded with map data of any where in the world.
A GPS uses a series of satellites to pinpoint your exact location with amazing accuracy. There are more sophisticated systems that have the ability to determine you position on the ground as well as an altitude reading.
