Join me on an expedition into the realm of the Global Positioning Systems (GPS); we will explore the intricate process that translates data received from GPS satellites into a coordinate marked on a map: from the hardware device, to a satellite and back.

This session aims to demystify and simplify the key concepts of the “GPS chips“, the hundreds of “GPS satellites” floating around us, their history, how they communicate, and the process of getting a coordinate to show up on a map.

Whether you're keen on app development, hardware devices, cloud computing, or maps, this talk will provide a holistic understanding of how these pieces interconnect and function cohesively in our everyday lives.
