Using triangulation of signals from four of the satellites, a receiving unit on earth can pinpoint its current location to within a few meters. A GPS device receive the data, then convert the longitude, latitude, and altitude (LLA) data into a location point. Position and navigation information is vital to a wide range of professional and recreational activities covering surveying, search and rescue, tracking, hiking, navigating, and so forth.
