A GPS reciever&#8217; s job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each , and use this information to deduce its own location.\u00a0<strong>This operation is based on the mathematical principle of trilateration.\u00a0<\/strong>Basically , your GPS reciever draws a sphere around each of three satellites it can locate. These three spheres intersect in two points-\u00a0<strong>one is in space and other is in ground. The point on the ground at which the three spheres intersect is your location.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have seen how a system evolves far more than the limited purposes that start its development.
