NAVIGATION AND GPS
TECHNOLOGY
GPS- GPS is a space-based radio-navigation system.
It consist of a network of satellites, ground control
stations, and receivers.
NAVIGATION- Navigation is a field of study that
focuses on the process of monitoring and controlling
the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to
another.

CONCLUSION

 Trigonometry plays a critical role in navigation, both at sea and in the air.
When sailors venture onto the vast expanses of the oceans, they rely on
trigonometric functions to chart their course. These functions, namely sine,
cosine, and tangent, provide a link between the angles and distances on a
navigational chart, enabling sailors to determine precise directions and
distances.
 This is not just limited to sea travel. For pilots, trigonometry is the backbone
of celestial navigation. By measuring the angle between a celestial body,
such as the sun or a star, and the horizon, pilots can accurately determine
their longitude and latitude. This calculation, combined with the principles of
spherical trigonometry, allows them to plot the shortest and most efficient
flight path, a critical aspect in our increasingly fuel-conscious world.
