Global Positioning System and GPS Devices

The now all pervasive Global Positioning System  is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites put into orbit by the US Department of Defence. Of these 21 satellites are used by GPS receivers and three are standby satellites. Military actions were the original aim for GPS initially. In 1980s, the U.S. government decided to allow the GPS system to be used by civilians all over the world, though with reduced accuracy.

 There were mainly three people who are credited as creators of this system are :

  1. Parkinson
  2. l.Easton
  3. A. Getting

The system was initially designed in USA in1960 but, the  development accelerated around 1973.

Main use of GPS system is to provide real time location in any condition.

GPS’s accurate time facility are a great help in everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids by allowing well synchronized hand-off switching.

Each of 24 GPS satellites circles the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user’s exact location. The system receiver compares the time a signal takes to be transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver exactly how far away the satellite is.

With distance calculation received from other more satellites, the GPS receiver determines the user’s position and display it on the unit’s digital map.

GPS has many applications on land, at sea and in the air.

Capabilities of GPS Devices

GPS devices may have capabilities such as:

sony-psp-290-gps-receiver

  • maps, including streets maps,
  • detailed turn by turn route navigation directions to the driver in charge of a vehicle or vessel via text or/and  speech (now-a-days available in most mobile phones).
  • directions directly to  an automated vehicle or a robotic vehicle, drone or probe,
  • traffic congestion maps(depicting  historical and/or real time update) and suggesting  alternative directions,
  • Information on nearby facilities such as restaurants, fueling stations, and tourist attractions.

Previously,it was difficult to buy GPS devices but now these devices are affordable and are also now available online. If you are a buy a new GPS device or  want to sell sell your old one  , you can post free ads here.

Usage and Limitations

GPS can be used almost everywhere except where it is impossible to receive the signals such as inside buildings, in caves and other subterranean locations, and underwater.

The most common  applications on air are for navigation by general aviation and commercial aircraft.

At sea, GPS is used for navigation by recreational boaters, commercial fishermen, and professional mariners.

Land-based applications are numerous.Scientists, mainly Geographers use this system for its precision timing capability and position information.

Surveyors use the GPS system for advanced and simple surveying.

The system offers financial feasibility by  reducing setup time at the survey site and providing.

Many recreational uses of GPS are also there. It offers enhanced security in recreational and adventure sports.

GPS is very popular among hikers, hunters, snowmobilers, mountain bikers, and cross-country skiers, amongst others.

Anyone who wants to know he or she is located, to find his or her way to the desired location, or know what direction and at what speed he or she is going can enjoy the benefits of the global positioning system.

Smartphone Review: THL T11 Pros and Cons

Posted on August 6, 2014 by Rashid Faridi

As with everything else, you get the features you pay for when it comes to purchasing smartphones. However, this is only broadly true, as customizability is still a key factor, although only to a certain extent. You may not get a gorilla glass enabled screen for a $200 budget, but you can still get to choose between a phone with decent camera and a phone with lower fuselage. It is up to what you want more among the features available. Therefore, for people who do not consider themselves an integral part of the vogue culture would often find that they do not find smartphones that features the specific combination of tastes that feature their requirements. This makes it important for one to check out the relatively more obscure brands of smartphones that, I have recently come to believe, feature seriously innovative designs and offer than at very cheap prices owing to lack of brand value. Here is a stellar example: the THL T11.

Key Features

The most eye catching feature of the THL T11 is that it is Android 4.2 with 5.0 inch HD Screen Phone
available in the market today. Most of the other phones featuring Android Jelly Bean 4.2 offer lower RAM and resolutions owing to the advanced operating system. However, the THL T11 offers you with the best innovative interface and striking hardware features that make sure your phone remains lighting fast in spite of you swamping it up with apps and files. It sports a 2GB RAM which is surprising for the price range that you get on this device. A simple Google search of the phone revealed several websites that offer THL T11 at 10% off $219.17. For that price range, the features of this phone are breath taking.

Key Pros

The phone offers a dual SIM more which is very useful for people who like to use separate modes for phone and internet connections. Also, there is the fact that given the low price and resolution of the phone, it still supports a memory card. Given the very low fuselage of the phone, most of its competitors only offer a large internal memory with no scope for expansion. This phone, on the other hand, would offer you with an excellent 32GB expandable memory that makes sure you can keep your phone useable for a long time.

Key Cons:

As regards the hardware, you only get a plastic body, which is not surprising given the price range. It would probably require a decent cover so as to keep it from functioning longer and better. However, it is not like the body cracks and squeaks when you use it. Therefore, we think that it is overall a pretty decent deal.

Also, although the phone is unlocked for international use, we are not sure of it working in every country as this has not been possible to test. It is suggested that you touch base with your network provider on this.
