    It may be cheesy, but it’s designed for kids. I tried explaining this concept to my 8 year old, and it’s not easy for him to understand. I am going to show him this video and see if he understands it better.

    He says “global COVERAGE” not carparage.

  11. HyperTeelee says:

    At 0:49 seconds it states that even though there are 29 satellites orbiting the Earth, only 24 are needed to provide…global carparage? What is that? I can’t find any information on it.

    can someone help me with the energy transformations in a gps!? i’ve looked EVERYWHERE and im getting desperate

  13. gemgem92 says:

    this is excellent explanation

    so easy to understand yet so informative

    THANKS now I can do my physics assignment easily

    Excellent animated graphics showing how the GPS satellites work. Demonstrating trilateration (first in 2D on a flat map, then in 3D) works very, very well. I’d give this more stars, but it’s a bit wordy and the acting is stilted. I’d have liked to see more time spent on the animations with voice overs, instead of the actors talking.

    god thats so anoing!!!
    but informative!

  16. naumanpak says:

    Very informative!

    Thanks ;) A colloquialism then… since obviously the rest of the youtube community doesn’t live on the south side of chicago. I’m sure I’m not the only one who never heard that expression before. But now I know…

    it means awesome its a word we use on the south side of chicago lol.

  21. 2000jago says:
