Answer 1

Answer:

• Communication
• Finding Locations
• Following Digital Maps

Explanation:

Information from GPS satellites help with communication for instance in the case of mobile phones, cell towers are able to connect to cellular devices more accurately and facilitate calls if the device or the cell tower is GPS enabled.

GPS (Global Positioning Systems) satellites are able to locate places on Earth quite accurately and for this reason, locations can be found by using information from these satellites. For instance, if you were to use Google Maps now to find somewhere in Brazil, that was information from a GPS satellite being used.

Information from GPS satellites also enables people to be able to follow digital maps. When you follow the directions given by Google Maps, it is information transmitted from a GPS satellite that enabled that.
