WHAT IS A GPS:
The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a global navigation satellite
system or GNSS.
Also the availability of the GPS was not constant since it was not
possible to use all the time, this was meaning that often the
troops needed to hope one or two hours that the position of the
satellites was favorable, and then to listen to them during 15
minutes to know where they were located.
When scarcely the first GPS were invented the mistake of the
system was of approximately 250 meters. When the first GPS
went out, for reasons of precision and size they were not
applicable as an urban system of navigation.
Also a very common mistake in the first GPS was that the
atmospheric conditions were affecting it.
