What Are the Uses of GPS?

Since GPS is usable nearly everywhere around the world, its uses are wide and varied.

The scientific community uses GPS for accurate timing and positioning information.
Surveyors are also beginning to use GPS in more and more of their work. The system can help in cost savings by significantly reducing the time it takes to setup at the survey site and by providing alarmingly accurate information. Survey units can provide accuracy to within a centimeter.
GPS is also used in a number of recreational activities which include hiking, hunting, mountain biking, and skiing to name a few.
It is also growing increasingly more common to see GPS in automobiles. These services can be used to tell the driver where he/she is at any given time as well as to provide the best directions to get to a specified destination.
