Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following involves the use of GPS technology?

Piloting

Celestial navigation

Electronic navigation

The use of GPS technology is most closely associated with electronic navigation. Electronic navigation systems rely on satellite signals to provide real-time location information, aiding in route planning and adjustments based on the current position. GPS (Global Positioning System) is a prominent electronic navigation tool that allows for precise tracking and situational awareness, making it invaluable for modern navigation purposes.

In contrast, piloting primarily relies on visual references and manual calculations, celestial navigation uses the positions of stars and other celestial bodies for navigation, and dead reckoning involves estimating one's current position based on a previously known location, speed, and direction without external reference points such as GPS. These methods do not utilize electronic signals from satellites and thus fall outside the scope of GPS technology.
