Navigating Absolute & Relative Locations with GPS Technology

Discover the world of navigation and GPS technology with absolute and relative location concepts explained. Learn how to determine position, course, and travel distance through landmark navigation, dead reckoning, directions/distance, and celestial positioning. Explore the precision of absolute location measured in degrees on the global grid system. Unveil the wonders of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) developed by the Department of Defense, consisting of 24 satellites for accurate positioning.

  1. WHERE IS IT? Absolute & Relative Location & GPSTechnology

  2. If you wanted to invite your teachers to dinner, and they didn’t know where you live, what instructions would you give them?

  3. NAVIGATION the method of determining position, course, and distance traveled

  4. NAVIGATION answers the question: HOW DO I GET THERE?

  5. NAVIGATION SYSTEMS: • LANDMARK NAVIGATION • DEAD RECKONING • DIRECTIONS/DISTANCES • CELESTIAL

  6. RELATIVE LOCATION where a place is located in RELATION to other places

  7. ABSOLUTE LOCATION the precise position on the globe as measured on the grid system

  8. ABSOLUTE LOCATION is measured in DEGREES (°)

  9. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) • a PRECISE global positioning system • developed and maintained by the Department of Defense • consists of 24 satellites
