What is GPS receivers?

GPS receivers are devices that determine their geographic location by receiving signals from a network of GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. By analyzing signals from multiple satellites, a GPS receiver can calculate its latitude, longitude, and altitude. They are commonly used for navigation in vehicles, smartphones, and other devices, as well as for surveying, mapping, and tracking purposes.
