| Global Positioning System (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) Resources |
 The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS), originally designed to serve global navigation for the U.S. military, has evolved into a critical element for commercial aviation, maritime, automotive, trucking, rail, and personal navigation. Once the E911 location feature is fully implemented in cell phones around the world, GPS will be as ubiquitous as wristwatches. Russia followed the success of GPS with its own GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), and the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the first of its Galileo satellite in December of 2005. This very extensive listing of component and system resources will assist you in your search for information.
