GPS navigation is a really sophisticated and accurate way of finding your way around. GPS that is an acronym for Gps Systems is a system that makes use of dozens of satellites which can be continually orbiting the environment. 

Cell phones were initially equipped with GPS chips because of the need of emergency operators in order to find victims who call 911. Should you call 911 from your own home, the operator instantly knows where you're and they can rush the police, fire, or ambulance in your aid before you even say to them your location. Unfortunately, when folks call 911 on the mobile phones, the operaters didn't have that information.  GPS chips were included in phones to help solve this matter.Cell phone makers quickly pointed out that they could use the GPS chip that may be already installed in the phones for another very useful application. 

GPS gps systems have become extremely popular in vehicles currently.  Once upon a time, only top notch luxury cars were equipped with GPS navigation.  Then came the more popular then ever portable GPS navigation devices.   The cellphone designers discovered that with a bit of a software upgrade, many GPS enabled phones might be programmed to function just like these portable Gps unit devices.
