JOHN asked:


I understand how Global Positing System works. What I would like to know is there a way normal people can find with the GPS coordinates point to. The military, and all emergency offices(Police, Sherriffs, highway patrol and fire departments) have them. Is it available for non-emergency personnel?

My GPS Unit, when in the “view map” mode shows the locations of all the streets along the route that I’m traveling, but only shows the names of a few of them. Is there a way to get the unit to show the names of more streets?

How is GPS service offered to civilians at no cost?

tincan3000 asked:


How is it that civilians are offered GPS service at no cost? I understand that it is being provided by the government. Is it paid for by tax money which would allow the general public to have access to GPS service? Will it ever be privatized such that companies will start charging consumers to have access to GPS signals?
