The system gives critical abilities to the military and civilians and provides continuous real-time, three-dimensional positioning, navigation, and timing worldwide.

We can find significant differences in performance and precision, depending on the GPS receiver quality. We can have a GPS receiver that is low cost, which has errors in the range of a few meters (5 m -10 m) and is commonly used in various applications requiring less precision, such as map routing. In other cases, we can have expensive GPS devices, configured ...
