SICILY Gps Waypoints Database
 
 
 
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
The European Union and the United States officially announced today that new GPS and Galileo satellites will jointly employ an improved design for their civil navigation signals, ensuring their interoperability
