What is a GPS sensor?

GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which is a global positioning system. With an advanced system using artificial satellites, anyone can use it 24 hours a day, anywhere, and it is possible to measure the position with high accuracy. Utilizing this property, it is widely applied to fields such as general positioning represented by car navigation, accurate time calculation, and geophysical observation.

Application of GPS sensor

Traditionally used for positioning in aircraft, ships, and surveying, it is now being actively applied to smartphones, laptops, and car navigation systems due to the development of IT technology. In addition to these general positioning, precision positioning at the mm to cm level has also been realized. It is used for precision surveying and precise measurement of crustal movements. In addition, GPS satellites are used to mediate time data measured by international atomic clocks around the world in determining international standard times.
