GPS stands for Global Positioning System. GPS uses satellites that orbit Earth to send information to GPS receivers that are on the ground. The information helps people determine their location.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. Attribute data can be generally defined as additional information about each of the spatial features.

What are the functions of major parts of the nervous system?​
Kaylis [27]

The brain, spinal cord , sensory organs, and all the nerves that connect these organs to the rest of the body make up the nervous system. Together, these organs are responsible for the body 's control and contact between its components. The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system (CNS) control center, where information is assessed and decisions are made. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) sensory nerves and sense organs track conditions within and outside the body, and transmit this information to the CNS. Strong nerves in the PNS carry signals to regulate their functions from the control center to the muscles , glands, and organs.
