Abstract

Understanding the right positions and directions of people and objects is a significant issue from the ancient eras to the present. In the past, people often launched a war in order to satisfy the craving for the dominating powers and spread their realms. In the recent, Global Satellite Positioning System (GPS) has become the one of most popular positioning technologies. GPS can provide users precise positioning information, no matter wherever that may present their own positions. The early GPS positioning technology has been widely used in military, marine use, until recently gradually applied into our daily life, e.g., automotive navigation, geodesy surveying, etc. In this chapter, we will briefly introduce some GPS issues including the origins of GPS, GPS system architecture, and related GPS applications.
