GPS or simply known as Global Positioning Satellites uses signals in outer space (by satellites) to navigate or see the whole map or location of a place. The coverage of GPS is the whole planet (Earth). There will be at least 24 satellites need to work together to flash or show the map with almost complete labels and picture. GPS also supports 3D views. </em>
