Even as it guides us across town, GPS helps land planes, route mobile calls, anticipate earthquakes, predict weather, locate oil deposits, measure neutrinos, grow our food, and regulate global finance. Pinpoint : how GPS is changing technology, culture, and our minds by Greg Milner Over the last fifty years, humanity has developed an extraordinary shared utility: the Global Positioning System. assurances of perpetual GPS availability-other countries are now building or have already developed their own systems, and Ceruzzi reports on these efforts in the European Union, Russia, India, China, and Japan. Recognizing the importance of satellite positioning systems in a shifting geopolitical landscape-and perhaps doubting U.S.
Ceruzzi explains how the convergence of three major technological developments-the microprocessor, the Internet, and cellular telephony-enabled the development and application of GPS technology. He describes the invention of GPS as a space technology in the post-Apollo, pre-Space Shuttle years and its first military and commercial uses. Ceruzzi recounts the origins of GPS and its predecessor technologies, including early aircraft navigation systems and satellites. It operates worldwide, and its basic signals are free, although private companies can commodify the data provided. GPS relays precise time and positioning information from orbiting satellites to receivers on the ground, at sea, and in the air. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Paul Ceruzzi offers a concise history of GPS, explaining how a once-obscure space technology became an invisible piece of our infrastructure, as essential to modern life as electric power or clean water. GPS makes Uber and Lyft possible driverless cars won't be able to drive without it. GPS mapping is standard equipment in many new cars and geolocation services are embedded in smart phones. Ceruzzi A concise history of GPS, from its military origins to its commercial applications and ubiquity in everyday life. The readers will learn how to apply the necessary infrastructure to provide fingerprinting services and scalable environments to deal with fingerprint data. This advanced publication provides the useful references educational institutions, industry, academic researchers, professionals, developers and practitioners need to apply, evaluate and reproduce this book's contributions. The book provides the different problems and challenges of indoor positioning and navigation services and shows how fingerprinting can be used to address such necessities.
