Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years, with applications ranging from aerial photography to package delivery. One of the key components that makes drones so versatile is their GPS system. But how exactly does a drone’s GPS system work?
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a network of satellites that orbit the Earth. These satellites transmit signals that can be picked up by GPS receivers, which are found in many devices including smartphones, cars, and of course, drones. By triangulating signals from multiple satellites, a GPS receiver can determine its precise location on Earth.
