GPS or global positional system was first developed like many great consumer electronics with a military application. The designers could barely have imagined some of the applications we see today with these bad boys eventually for the technology. They’ve become a pillar of IT businesses.
The Global Positioning System is a satellite derived navi system, a network of over 2 dozen orbiting space crafting ships that was put in place between what some would refer to as the late 1970s and the mid 1990s by the us department of defense which is a far cry from what its used for primarily today, which is locating the closest fro yo for a reasonable price, with good reviews for a soccer mom in the a new town or something. This is because the military actually allowed people access to them early in the game which was a huge advantage to the lives and navigation on an average scale. here are a few applications of the system that are not drempt up at the instantiate of its creation but are proving to be the new norm when it comes.

One way we are seeing having a good affect on the world is that they allow the potential of shark attacks to be affected. this is done through tagging sharks for research. this helps in understanding both the migration and matting patterns of the beasts, but it also helps local life guard and law enforcment offcials by allowing a system to be notified when a shark comes in to close to shore during times of potential up tick in populations being at or around the water.
Another unforeseen way the world is benefiting from GPS is that it helps with tracking stolen and fraud prescription drugs. people who rob or burgal drugs have been targeting drugstores in an effort to get that good good, the crowned jewel of the persecution drug world oxycodone (mamamia mi likey as its reffered to) the bottels now have trackers which slows the people to know just where they might go if not in the right hands.
Geocaching a great hobby for people is only possible with the widespread use of having a lot of people who can not only know their concordance at the drop of a hat but also who can look up where they are just as quickly and accurately. Today the seed of adventure has been sown in the belly of mystery and a new frontier of treasure hunters hit the road in a effort to find whatever someone leaves for them, and hopefully and hopefully not what was stated prior.Image may be NSFW.

Health, we all want it but dont know where to find it. Well GPS might have the drop on where to look, its in you. Insofar as it is known when you you move and at what rate, from there it is correlate to what the calories it would be to carry your self such distances. This is merely a taste of what the GPS has done in recent years and time will tell what new places we go.
