The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based system that provides users with precise measurements of time, position, and velocity anywhere on or near the surface of the Earth. GPS and other location-aware technologies (e.g., Google Earth) are quickly altering the way we navigate, communicate, survey and map, practice large-scale agriculture, transport raw materials and finished goods, and even the way we play. This post attempts to document, in a visual way, the geography and scale required to make this technology possible.
