Scenarios about 'GPS'
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1970s and fully operational by 1995, GPS revolutionized navigation, mapping, and timing applications. In alternate history scenarios, different development timelines or competing navigation systems could significantly alter military capabilities, technological development, and geopolitical power balances.
What If Satellites Were Never Launched?
