What is GPS?
• GPS stands for Global Positioning System
• GPS is a satellite navigation system designed to provide accurate position, velocity, and time information almost anywhere in the world
• the present system is known as NAVSTAR - NAVigation Satellite Timing And Ranging
• the GPS program operated and controlled by the US Department of Defense

How does GPS work?
• Each satellite broadcasts its orbital position as a modulated signal
• Receiver determines the difference between the time signal from the satellite and its own internal clock
• The distance from the satellite can be calculated using the speed of light (300,000 km/second)
• Position and distance from 3 or 4 satellites allows triangulation of receiver’s position

Major GPS Components

Space Segment
• A constellation of 24 orbiting satellites with 3-4 spares
• Orbit at a distance of 11,000 miles
• Each satellite contains several very precise atomic clocks
• orbit roughly every 12 hours, but they are not geosynchronous

Control Segment
• There are five Control Stations around the world• Stations monitor satellites as they pass
overhead by measuring the distance from the Control Station to the satellites
• Master Control Station determines satellite conditions (orbit, clock, health status) and calibrates the satellite’s clock

User Segment• Accuracy is dependent on the kind of receiver • Navigation (Recreation) grade – least
accurate• Mapping grade – accurate• Survey grade – most accurate• Costs range from $100 to $30,000

Error in Satellite Signals
DOP = Dilution of Precision (This means that the signal degrades)

Geographic Information Systems - GIS
• GIS is a spatial database with a strong visual display component
• GIS is not primarily a mapping program
• GIS was developed in the early 1980s, but its acceptance and development outside of the environmental sciences has been slow

GIS Data Models
• Raster Model– The first GIS model developed– Based on grids of cells that are assigned
values and grouped into layers
• Vector Model– Uses points, lines, and polygons define
data classes– Grouped into themes or layers

GIS Models - Combined
• We’ll use a combination of raster imagery and vector layer files to build our geo-database
• Let’s see a real-world application
