Abstract
GPS technology is one of the significant inventions of the twentieth century. GPS has become a popular device in western countries but has not yet reached the household of the common man in India. With globalization, GPS and its related technology have been unable to penetrate the heart of Indian consumers. This thesis studies what the factors that prevent GPS from being used widely in India are. The actual application of the GPS technology is what leads to such things as navigation systems, GPS tracking devices, GPS surveying and GPS mapping. GPS in itself does not provide any functionality beyond being able to receive satellite signals and calculate position information. The global positioning system (GPS) has revolutionized the field of navigation all over the world. Initially create just for military uses, to locate ground forces and to direct their movements with accurate precision as to their destinations, GPS now is available everywhere for commercial use.
Keywords: Satellite signals, Constellation, Navigation, position.
