Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time data anywhere on Earth .

It operates through a network of at least 24 satellites orbiting the planet, which transmit signals to GPS receivers on the ground.

Relying on GPS can reduce the need for individuals to memorize landmarks and spatial cues from their environment, which were once essential for navigation.
