GPS has numerous civilian applications, such as navigation and locating devices
It has its origins in secret military technology in the US
This project is a software-based GPS receiver, which enables coarse positioning with a high level of precision and in a short space of time
Developer Chris Doble created the software in Python, which can be run once the relevant hardware is attached to a laptop or PC
This comprises a dongle suitable for software-defined radio (SDR) and a device for GPS receiving, linked to a window displaying the information in the correct format
