Name two uses of a global positioning system (gps) that are listed in the student edition text

Answer:

- Military Porposes

- Mapping

Explanation:

    Currently, the use of GPS is within reach of the various fields of human activity. GPS is useful in virtually all situations and professions where it is necessary to obtain a precise location of those involved, such as exploration work, expeditions into forests or caves, in addition to being important for virtually all flying or navigation vehicles, allowing crew members know exactly where they are, in the sky or at sea.

    One of the most explored applications for ordinary users is the use of the system in automobiles. It is offered with maps of the cities and locations where the driver is traveling, which allows you to trace routes and routes with ease, in addition to providing an overview of the area being traveled. Even people who constantly move around sparsely populated areas make use of GPS.

    The scientific community uses GPS for its highly accurate watch. During certain scientific experiments, it can be recorded with microsecond precision (0.000001 seconds) when a certain sample was obtained. Of course, the location of the point where the sample was taken can also be important.

    Surveyors lower costs and obtain accurate surveys more quickly with GPS. Forest rangers, prospecting and exploration of natural resources, geologists, archaeologists, firefighters, all benefit from GPS technology, which is also becoming increasingly popular with cyclists, balloonists, fishermen, ecotourists and adventurers who only want guidance during the your travels.

     With the popularization of GPS, a new concept emerged: precision agriculture. An agricultural machine equipped with a GPS receiver stores data related to productivity in a memory device that produces a map of crop productivity. The information even allows to optimize the application of fertilizers.
