Test on the global positioning system (GPS).

By: Yair Vidal

The GPS source of guidance for everyday life

There are many applications offered today by the global positioning system, based on

everything provided for this system to work efficiently. Many people, organizations,

governments, in short, have been attracted by the use of this tool, due to its application in civil as

well as military activities.

The GPS offers us endless facilities that perhaps some years ago we would not have imagined

that we could have, however, some difficulties arise when some data requires a reference to the

shape of the earth (geodesy of the earth). For this, some geodesy experts devised how to capture

this data in a general way, and for this purpose they used the sphere as a reference surface or

surface for data collection.

From the ellipse that is taken from the general shape of the earth, to obtain data and

coordinates, it is necessary, and according to the end, the use of one, two or three dimensions,

these can be classified into X, Y and Z, and correspond to the horizontal, vertical and height of a

point respectively. Depending on the data you want to use, these dimensions are related in its use.

In practice there are many disciplined related to the operation of GPS. And not only to the

operation, within the applications of this, it is not enough for the system to throw us certain data,

well, in most times it is used, we seek to obtain deeper information, and this is achieved by

interrelating concepts that They range from geography, geodesy, to trigonometry, calculation

among many others.

It is important to note that the methods and data that can be obtained lack complete accuracy.

But for this, ways were devised to reduce the margin of error as much as possible.

In order to obtain data and coordinates using GPS, some types of projections come into play,

which, following the equator, the Greenwich meridian and the center of the earth offer some

precision and provide data for mapping, among many others. Applications. These are obtained by

segmenting the earth in some geometric forms, and subsequently a good amount of mathematical

formulas come into play that according to the moment, or the need to apply.

For the exercise of the use of GPS there are already many data that are general, there are also

reference points with previously given values that facilitate the work of this system. It is known

that the global positioning system began as a practically private tool that very few organizations

could have access to. In recent years, GPS is accessible to most people in the individual because

it has been incorporated into everyday devices such as cell phones or cars.

That is why within the professional training to which I am attached I am training on this

subject. As I said, the applications of this system are very varied, and therefore, today, it is

necessary to begin to know at least the fundamental thing that helps us in the application of our

professional disciplines in the field, as part of a series of very well grouped disciplines that

interact to obtain the best possible results
