Here's how GPS works in five logical steps:

The basis of GPS is "triangulation" from satellites.

To "triangulate," a GPS receiver measures distance using the travel time of radio signals.

To measure travel time, GPS needs very accurate timing that it achieves with some tricks.

Along with distance, you need to know exactly where the satellites are in space. High orbits and careful monitoring are the secret.

Finally you must correct for any delays the signal experiences as it travels through the atmosphere.

Five broad categories of GPS application:

Location – determining a basic position

Navigation – getting from one location to another

Tracking – monitoring the movement of people and things

Mapping – creating maps of the world

Timing – bringing precise timing to the world

Turning Off/On the GPS

Your computer has a built-in Fn+F12 GPS hot key to switch the GPS on/off (see “Hot Keys” in chapter 2).

Using Bluetooth

NOTE: To take advantage of the bluetooth feature, the Blue Tooth driver supplied with your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).

In general, Bluetooth is designed to be a cord replacement technology, allowing you to have a number of peripherals (for example, mouse, keyboard, printer, and PDA) that can all seamlessly connect to your computer without using wires.

Bluetooth connections are limited to approximately 30 feet. This makes it great for personal applications.
