About GPS Software
GPS software is used to program, manage, and monitor GPS receivers, radio-navigational devices that provide positional information for objects on Earth based on data transmitted by orbiting satellites. GPS, an acronym for global positioning system, refers to a system of satellites and receivers that allow people and devices to pinpoint their precise location. The entire system relies upon a network of 24 radio-emitting satellites that orbit the Earth twice a day. Ground-based GPS receivers use GPS chips and GPS software to help derive highly-accurate surface coordinates for GIS, mapping, tracking, surveying, and data collection applications. An acronym for geographic information system, GIS is used to combine relational databases with spatial outputs such as maps.
Selecting GPS software requires an analysis of specifications, capabilities, and features. Parameters include computer operating system (OS), device type, and GPS receiver type. GPS software is designed for specific operating systems. OS choices include Microsoft Windows, MacOS and PalmOS. With Windows-based GPS software, the OS is often a function of the device type. For example, the Windows XP operating system is designed for personal computers (PCs); however, GPS software for handheld devices may use Windows CE.NET instead. MacOS is the operating system for Apple Macintosh and Macintosh-compatible computers. Palm OS is an operating system for personal digital assistants (PDA) manufactured by multiple licensees. GPS software is also designed for specific types of GPS receivers.
