On the other hand, the recently used Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites located in six circular orbits with an altitude of about 20,000 km, a period of about 12 hours, and an orbital inclination of 55 degrees. It has the advantage that the error range is relatively small by receiving the visual signals from four satellites and outputting the current position by triangulation.However, due to the characteristics of the satellite signal, it cannot be used indoors. Due to this, it is vulnerable to high-rise buildings.
