Welcome to the Verde Valley Amateur Radio Association GPS - Geocaching Special Interest Group

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The GPS uses a constellation of at least 24 (32 by March 2008) Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine their location, speed, direction, and time. GPS was developed by the United States Department of Defense. Its official name is NAVSTAR-GPS. The GPS satellite constellation is managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing.
