About GPS
GPS stands for global positioning system and is now found in most cell phones and is also available in dedicated handheld units. The major manufacturers of GPS systems are Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan.
About Satellite
Satellite is the general term for any object floating in orbit around another object, but typically the term is used to describe a communications relay used for transmitting data through space.
