GPS
The 27 (24 active and 3 backups) satellites
making up the GPS network over earth send microwave signals
at light speed to communicate positions. For years, the military
has used GPS coordinates to locate people, targets, set navigation
and establish meeting places. Today, people use GPS for hiking,
driving, SCUBA diving, golf and other applications where specific
locations are needed.
