Satellite System and GPS

Satellite systems enable global communication through voice, data, and broadcast services using orbiting satellites. The Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes trilateration to determine precise locations by calculating distances from satellites. While satellite navigation offers advantages like destination finding and tracking, it has limitations in certain environments and may hinder route learning for users.

Satellite Systems and

GPS Navigation
Satellite Systems

 Satellite systems provide voice, data, and broadcast


services globally.
 They use satellites in orbit to communicate and
receive signals from them.
Global Positioning System (GPS) and
Trilateration
 GPS uses satellites to determine the precise
location of receivers.
 Satellites
send signals with their position and
time data.
 The receiver calculates the distance from
each satellite to determine its position using
trilateration.
Satellite Navigation: Pros and Cons
Advantages:
- Helps people find destinations.
- Tracks parcels and stolen vehicles.
- Provides information on nearby shops,
restaurants, petrol stations.
- Gives spoken directions for safer driving.
Disadvantages:
- Doesn't work well in buildings or
underground.
- Users may not learn routes if they rely solely
on navigation.
What3words System

 What3words divides the world into 3m x 3m


squares, assigning each a unique 3-word address.
 This system provides highly accurate location
information.
 Used by emergency services and car navigation
systems for precise location tracking.
