On top of military applications, many are finding that there are commercial uses for the GPS. GPS units today are now indispensable units for even average people. Navigation Perhaps the most popular form of GPS is in cars. Brands such as Garmin, TomTom and Megellan dominate the industry.
  • GPS Satellite Tracking - GPS or Global Positioning System is a satellite navigation system. More than 24 satellites broadcast timing signals that allows the GPS receiver to determine the latitude, longitude and altitude of an object. GPS Satellite Tracking can be used to navigate vehicles and ships in any weather at any time on any part of the planet. GPS Satellite Tracking is an indispensable tool that is used for map-making, land surveying and navigation.
  • Network Time: NTP Server Systems - The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard Internet protocol for distributing time around a computer network. The protocol is widely used to synchronise computers and time critical applications to an accurate time reference. This article describes the Network Time Protocol and provides an overview of how NTP servers utilise NTP to provide an accurate source of time to network time clients.
  • Using GPS For Accurate Timing - The GPS system can be used to provide a highly accurate timing reference for computer network timing equipment such as NTP Server systems and other time critical applications. This article describes how the Global Positioning System can be used to provide a precise timing reference and provides an overview of the equipment required. The GPS system is a United States military system for worldwide navigation. The system consists of 24 orbiting satellites.
  • Debugging NTP Server Installations - Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard protocol for the transfer of time across the Internet and computer networks. The NTP protocol source code is 'open source' and can be freely downloaded from the NTP web site. The NTP primary development platform is LINUX but ports to Windows are also available. This article describes how to debug a NTP server installation after compilation and configuration of the distribution. NTP Server Debugging Once the NTP distribution is installed and configured, correct operation needs to be verified. NTP includes a number of tools that can be used to query and debug a NTP server. The most widely used tool is 'ntpq' - the standard NTP query utility. The 'ntpq' utility can be run on the NTP Server installation or from any other computer on the network.
  • GPS and RFID Package Tracking - It was not that many years ago that package tracking was almost totally guesswork. If you ordered something that needed to be shipped to you it might arrive in 3 days or 3 weeks and where the package was in between the shipper and you was a complete mystery. All of that is changing not only because of GPS tracking but also because of radio frequency identification (RFID). GPS is a wonderful technology that is revolutionizing many areas of our lives;
  • GPS Cell Phone - The Global Positioning System (GPS) was funded, developed and controlled by the US Department of Defense. Since the late seventies, GPS has become an important aid to navigation around the world. Initially designed for the US military, GPS became publicly available years later and it is now considered an important feature in lots of consumer products. How does GPS work? Well, basically there are three elements that make everything work: satellites, earth monitoring stations and receivers (ex: cell phone, telefone celular). GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time.
  • Cell Phone GPS Surveillance - Boyfriends are using it to stalk their girlfriends, employers are using it to track their employees and parents are using it to control their kids. But, is it legal? The cell phone GPS surveillance industry is exploding.
  • Using a GPSr for Exercise Feedback - A Global Positioning System Receiver (GPSr) has many important applications and functions that help us in our daily lives. They can track people, places and things. They are used to find addresses and your way around cities. In the mountains, they are used to maintain awareness of positions. A GPSr with a breadcrumb function can show the route traveled and it can be used to backtrack to where you left your car or to a particular place. Recreationally, they are used for a game, geocaching.
  • Vehicle Tracking Device: What You Need To Know Before Buying One - Vehicle tracking devices utilize GPS, global positioning system, to electronically track the location of a vehicle. GPS satellites transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers pick up and store this information.
  • Configuring NTP on your Linux Server - The Network Time Protocol (NTP) defines a set of algorithms for the dissemination of time across the Internet. The NTP protocol can be used to synchronise the system time on your Linux Server with a highly accurate Internet time reference. This article describes how to configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon on your Linux server to synchronise with an Internet based NTP server. It also provides a list of well-know public Internet time references. Obtaining the NTP Source Code Distribution The Linux NTP source code distribution is publicly available 'open source' software. The distribution can be freely downloaded from the NTP web site 'ntp.org'. The latest NTP version for Linux is 2.4.2. A port is also available for Windows platforms, but the primary development platform for NTP is the Linux operating system.
  • GPS Time Servers For Network Time Synchronisation - The GPS system is a satellite navigation system operated by the United States military. The system is also available for civilian use without any subscription requirement. The GPS system is primarily intended as a highly accurate global positioning system. However, each GPS satellite also has onboard a highly accurate atomic clock, ideal for providing a precise time reference for computer network time synchronisation. This article discusses how GPS time server systems obtain precise timing information to provide a highly accurate timing reference for network time synchronisation.
  • Interesting Facts About GPS - GPS is getting to be more a part of our everyday life all the time. If you buy a new car, there is a good chance that an option is available to get a GPS navigation system with it. It is only a matter of time before GPS navigation becomes a standard feature in every new car that rolls off the assembly line.
  • Vehicle Tracker - Never Losing Track Again - Vehicle tracker, also known as GPS vehicle tracking system, is a device that uses satellite signals to track vehicles. The device is placed inside of the vehicle, allowing either real-time or passive monitoring of its location. How a vehicle tracker works Vehicle tracker emits a signal that is picked up via satellite and conveyed to a monitoring system. A subscription service to the tracking company allows you to get reports and access to real-time monitoring displays. There are two types of vehicle trackers available. One type offers passive tracking. A monitoring device is placed in the vehicle and data can be retrieved later to determine where the vehicle has been and the mileage driven. The other type is real time tracking, which is more extensive. It allows the vehicle's location to be monitored on a computer while it is being driven.
  • GPS Tracking for the Small Business - GPS Tracking is a process which involves the Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate a given object or person. It works by sending and receiving signals to a GPS unit, which is affixed to the object prior to allow tracking. The signals are sent via one of the dozen satellites orbiting Earth for this purpose, which communicate with one another to allow them to pinpoint exactly the coordinates of the object you are tracking.
  • Which GPS Device is Right for You? - For those who drive significant distances or who frequently find themselves searching for things in unfamiliar surroundings, a GPS satellite receiver can certainly simplify life. Like most electronics devices however, the number of choices, brands, and features can make the selection of a device difficult and somewhat time consuming. Shoppers however can take some time to identify the features that would be most valuable for them, determine how much they are willing to spend, and then relax as the selection will be greatly simplified once these decisions are made. In a world of innumerable options, here are a few of the more critical characteristics to consider: Will the device be used outside of the vehicle?
  • Using NTP Authentication - NTP or Network Time Protocol to give it its full name is an internet protocol designed to distribute precise time around a network.
