There are many other Military Applicatons :-
GPS technology is used extensively in geographic information systems. These systems combine cellular data networks for communication.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) :-
Tracking Devices :- One of the easiest applications to consider is the simple GPS tracking device.
Speed:- GPS’s calculate your
ground speed as you walk, run, drive or fly.
Elevation:- In addition to
providing you with your latitude and longitude, GPS provides you with altitude information.
Navigation :-
IVHS will combine GPS technology with communications, controls, navigation and information systems to improve highway safety, ease trace congestion, and reduce harmful environmental effects.
Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) :-
A car navigation system uses a specialized computer that use the signals from GPS satellites to track the driver's progress on a digital map. It may provides services like the shortest route, etc.
Car Navigation Systems :-
GPS technology is being applied in aircraft safety systems, air traffic control system, and zero visibility landing.
GPS technology can be used to plot aircraft altitude to a pitch of one-tenth of one degree. In future, it is expected to reduce the number of people required in the control tower and cockpit.
Aviation :-
1) Determination of Control Points for : - Cartography GIS Photogrammetric Remote Sensing Geophysical Surveys Inertial Surveys Hydrographical Surveys Expeditions of all kinds Archeological mapping Large-scale Surveys and Mapping
Engineering Applications
2) Monitoring movements by repeated or continuous measurements : -
Ground subsidence or riseLand slides Deformation and Construction of
DamsSubsidence of offshore structureSettlement of buildings
Tunnel Surveys /constructionBridge constructionRoad Surveys /constructionPipe lines Power and communication linesWaterwaysCanal and Drain SurveysParticle accelerators
3) Control points for Engineering Projects : -
Construction vehicles Dumpers and excavations in open pit mining
Taxi fleet management Transport vehicles and carsForklifts in open storage areas
4) Real time guidance and control of vehicles : -
Railroad corridor Surveying Pesticides spraying and seed control in Agricultural
Forest managementVehicle TrackingGlacial Geodesy Attitude control of Aircrafts and ShipsGlobal maritime Distress and Safety system
Efficient flight routes Improvement in transport efficiencyEnhance SafetyMap making and charting

infrastructure
There are some Specific Applications :-
GPS technology is being used to develop emergency messaging products. With the aid of a wireless communication link, the emergency system communicates the GPS derived position information and the specifies the situation to the base station. GPS based car alarms with GPS to locate stolen cars are being considered by the automobile industry.
Emergency Systems :-
GPS Aides for the Blind :-
Real time GPS along with digitized maps and possibly audio capability can provide useful navigational capabilities to the blind.
Tracking of Wild Animals :-
Animals are equipped with GPS receivers and with wireless transmitters. The GPS determined position is transmitted to the control station. This information is used to track animals and for studying their nomadic patterns.
Innovative Applications Tracking your distance to the tee
I rarely golf without a GPS because it allows me to choose clubs more accurately. You can first "map" the fairway manually by walking the course and setting waypoints. On most GPS devices, you just click a button that looks like a flag near each tee box and hole. Then, when you play the course, the GPS shows you your current location and the distance to the next hole.
Catch more fish than the next guy There's nothing quite like using a GPS when fishing -- it even beats a depth finder or fish finder because you can find fishing spots that other people rave about.
Hunt for buried treasure with your co-workersGeocaching involves using a GPS that you load with coordinates, and then finding a buried treasure in parks and other public places.
Go for a hike, run, walk or bike ride and never get lost
Biking with a GPS allows you to not only find a route, but monitor your heart rate and track your distance.
Find your way around town
Car navigation makes sense for anyone who travels for business, or for team-building events where employees must complete tasks around town.
