What is a GPS? How does it work? The Global Positioning System (GPS) tells you where you are on Earth. Itâs eleven oâclock ... do you know where your kids are? Would you like to? One way to track them would be to have a GPS receiver installed in the car! The GPS, or Global Positioning System, is one of the hottest technologies around, and no wonder. Consider these diverse uses: Minnesota scientists use GPS to study movements and feeding habits of deer.
The accuracy of GPS does depend on certain factors, mainly that the receiver has to get reception from a large swath of sky. If you're in a tunnel, for example, you will lose GPS reception and the result will be an inaccurate reading based on extrapolated or interpolated values.
