Words My Mother Never Knew | Küresel Konumlama Sistemi

Words my mother never knew. Truly there are many words in Turkish language that my mother did not tell me or my friends never used years ago. Let's talk about these words and concepts from time to time.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based global navigation satellite system. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that GPS receivers use to provide three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus precise time. It provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth.

The General Command of Mapping (GCM) as the active mapping authority responsible for geodetic activities in Turkey for monitoring tectonic activity, initiated the Turkish Permanent GPS Network (TPGN) project in 1999. The preliminary aim of the TPGN is to establish about 16 stations throughout Turkey. The ultimate goal is to install 50 stations, with emphasis on areas with high rate of crustal deformation.
The locations of the existing and planned TPGN stations are shown below as of 2004.
