Imagine the situation: in a cold and dark night, you are driving alone on a mountain, and you have no idea where you are. Suddenly your car breaks down and you have no mobile phone.

A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
The GPS is a small radio receiver (无线电接收机). It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. In this way, we can take it with ourselves everywhere. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes or boats.

They are all over the world and can control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
