Another definition according to a source from a book entitled Location Based Service, GPS
is a technology with a navigation system using satellites that was created to assist in knowing
or getting information and position quickly in all places around the earth at any time under any
conditions. With this tool, users are sure to be able to know or track the position of many things
such as vehicles, troops/opponents, cars, and so on in real time.
The United States is the originator and initiator of GPS. Basically, GPS technology
systems form the same as central base radio navigation systems, such as LORAN and the Decca
Navigator which were developed in the 1940s and used during World War II. The inspiration
for making the GPS system actually came from the Soviet Union, which at that time, in 1957,
launched their first satellite, Sputnik. A team of US scientists led by Dr. Richard B. Kershner
was monitoring Sputnik radio transmissions at the time. They found that the Doppler Effect
affects radio transmissions, where the frequency signal transmitted by Sputnik is very high at
launch and gets lower as the satellite moves away from Earth. They realized that by knowing
the longitude of their exact location on a world map, they were able to track the position of the
satellite in orbit based on a measure of the deviation of the Doppler Effect. Transit, the first
satellite navigation system used by the US Navy was successfully piloted in 1960.
The system, which uses a collection of five satellites, is capable of determining position
once every hour. In 1967, the US Navy developed the Timation satellite which proved its
capabilities by setting accurate time in space, the reference technology for GPS systems. In the
1970s, the central base Omega Navigation System, based on signal phase comparison, became
the first worldwide radio navigation system. The first experimental Block-I GPS satellites were
launched in February 1978. The GPS satellites were first manufactured by Rockwell
International (now part of Boeing) and are now manufactured by Lockheed Martin (IIR/IIR-
M) and Boeing (IIF).
Navstar satellite is the first generation of GPS satellites. Navstar Satellite or Navigation
System with Timing and Ranging is a system created to determine position assisted by satellite
and is the first step of change in the field of position measurement and navigation. This system
is a combination of a US program called Navy TIMATION with Air Force 621B. This system
is under the responsibility of the Joint Program Office (JPO). In 1978, the first Navstar Satellite
was launched by Rockwell International. However, due to the company's inability to survive,
it was eventually acquired by BOEING.
GPS can be used to support military defense systems. Furthermore, it can monitor enemy
movements during war, it can also guide the direction of the bomb's fall so that it can be more
targeted.
Understanding GPS and its functions in driving needs, the GPS system is also very helpful,
with a GPS Tracker installed on the vehicle it will make the trip more comfortable because the
direction and destination of the road can be known after the GPS sends the position of our
vehicle which is translated into a digital map.
• GPS for Geographic Information System
Understanding GPS and its functions for geographic information systems it is necessary to
use GPS so that it can be facilitated, such as for making maps, measuring border distances, or
it can be used as a reference for measuring an area.
Understanding GPS and its functions used for tracking system needs, namely displaying
and receiving signals in different locations. For example, we can find out the location of a lost
vehicle by looking at the coordinate points generated from the device installed in the vehicle,
to see it can be through smartphone media or other special tools.
Currently, GPS technology is continuously being improved resulting in a very high level
of accuracy and accuracy so that GPS can be used to monitor ground movements on earth.
With this, geologists can estimate the possibility of an earthquake in an area.
Elon Musk's car company, Tesla, seems to never stop making updates in the automotive
industry. Starting from electric cars, autonomous cars to innovative supporting features. Most
recently, Tesla has just patented their GPS technology, which is claimed to be more accurate.
It's not an ordinary GPS, patented by Tesla. The GPS developed by Tesla is useful for
accommodating autonomous vehicles in their car series. GPS accuracy in autonomous vehicles
is indeed a must.
Just like GPS for ships, GPS for airplanes is also tailor-made for non-personal needs. As
the name implies, this GPS is used to read the situation and flight conditions. Therefore, this
GPS is used by cockpit controllers.
• Marine GPS
As the name implies, this type of GPS is used at sea, aka used for those who work on ship
crews. This type of GPS is widely used by commercial ships and recreational ships. Because
of its need for ships, it is clear that this type of GPS is not intended for personal needs because
it is usually expensive.
• Sports GPS
There is also a GPS device that has a function to support sports activities. This type of GPS
for sports activities is usually in the form of a watch that has a waterproof feature. Some of the
product types, for example, are the Forerunner 210 GPS for those of you who are planning to
run. There is also an S Garmin Edge 80 which is suitable for those of you who like cycling.
• In-Dash Receivers
The type of GPS that is needed a lot is the In-dash receiver, which is a receiver that can be
attached to the car. This type of GPS is much sought after by those who have a private car,
perhaps including you. This is because this type of GPS is able to provide more accurate data
and information.
• Pocket GPS
Pocket GPS has the same function as portable GPS, namely GPS that can be easily carried
anywhere. The smaller shape makes the pocket GPS easier to carry around and can even be
used as a key ring.
• Portable GPS
The first type of GPS is portable GPS, the type of GPS that can be carried everywhere. The
shape is easy to grip, therefore this type of GPS is often referred to as a Handheld GPS.
