Hello、munejyuka。

I sometimes see it in my daily life、The term GPS that appears in conversations。

What does this GPS stand for?、I was curious so I looked into it.。

ＧＰＳとは何の略？

ＧＰＳとは、

Ｇｌｏｂａｌ　Ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｉｎｇ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ

の頭文字を取って作ったものとのことです。

Translated into Japanese、

全地球的測位システム

となるそうです。

ＧＰＳの仕組みは？

ＧＰＳの仕組みについても少しだけ書いておきたいと思います。

GPS uses radio waves to communicate between artificial satellites in space and receivers on the ground.、System for confirming ground position

Is that。

Location information of smartphones and tablets that we usually use、

Through interaction between artificial satellites and mobile phone base stations、A method that estimates the location by measuring the distance between the mobile phone base station and the smartphone/tablet.

apparently。

I usually use location information casually.、When I hear that something like this is happening on a cosmic scale in an instant,、It's quite emotional!

Summary

・What is GPS?、An acronym for “Global Positioning System”

・The location information on smartphones and tablets that we use everyday also uses GPS.

The term GPS is sometimes used in everyday life.。

again、Using GPS often makes daily life more convenient.。

I hope we can continue to make good use of GPS!
