GPS+12

Group 1: GPS's use coordinates to locate places. There are 24 satellites orbiting in space. GPS was originally used in the military but when they let the public use the device geocaching was discovered. People who dont normally geocach and disturb a geocaching location are known as muggles.

Group 2: GPS's are used to locate your position on earth.

There are at least 24 satellites that GPS's use.

Most commercial GPS's are accurate to about 10m - 20m, but some off the industrial ones, such as surveying equipment, can be accurate to 10 cm.

When the military released GPS technology to the public, it started the popular hobby of Geocache.

Group 3: GPS is used to pinpoint your location or a desired location.

Some can show you the location accurate to 10 cm.

Many people Geocache. It is when you use a GPS to find a “Treasure” put there by other Geocache members.

In the terms of Geocaching, muggles are people who stumble upon a treasure who don’t geocache. There is usually a note, telling them what it is.

Group 4: GPS systems are used when you need to mark where you are to find something or your location.

There are 24 orbiting satellites in space that we use for GPS devices.

GPS systems send out a signal and you get your location when the satellite gets the signal and processes how far away the signal came from. The GPS system then gets the information of where it is.

A general GPS system that you can buy at the store can get you 10-30ft from where you originally started, which is pretty accurate.

Group 7: The GPS device we used was a Garmin E-Trek. It isn't really very new but it still works and will put you roughly within 20ft of your desired coordinates. A GPS gets the coordinates from the nearest satellite above it. On almost any GPS, you can mark locations to remember for later. Like a store, a house, or any amazing spot you may find out in the middle of nowhere. There is an outdoor activity called Geocaching. It is where you go out to cool locations to find little containers. The main point is just to get people out into the wilderness so that they can come to love it and do more to keep it here. You go onto the Geocaching website and fine some geocaches that are close to you. Then get the coordinates on some kind of GPS. After that, you go for a hike and try to find the container.
