GPS-like systems are technologies that help determine the location of objects or people using signals from satellites. These systems work by triangulating the position based on the time it takes for signals to travel from multiple satellites to a receiver, such as a smartphone or a car navigation system. This allows users to find their way, track movements, and even navigate in unfamiliar areas. Similar to GPS, other systems like GLONASS from Russia and Galileo from the European Union also provide location services. These systems enhance accuracy and reliability, making it easier for applications like ride-sharing and delivery services to operate efficiently in real-time.
