Satellite navigation
is
a
technology
that
uses
satellites
to determine the precise geographic
location
of
a
receiver on or near the
Earth
'
s
surface
. This
technology
allows users to find their
position
using
signals
transmitted from
satellites
in
orbit
around the
Earth
.
Satellite navigation systems
operate by triangulating the
signals
from multiple
satellites
, which enables the
calculation
of the receiver'
s
location
in terms of
latitude
,
longitude
, and
altitude
.
