GPS and Geo Augmented Navigation

Do you know what GPS stands for? GPS means "Global Positioning System" and it's a way that we can know where we are on the earth. It's like a map that's really, really accurate!

So, let's say you want to go to a new place like a park. We can use GPS to tell us where the park is and how to get there. We can use our phones or a special device called a GPS receiver to help us find our way.

But what is Geo Augmented Navigation? It's like GPS but it's even better. It uses information from the ground and the sky to give us really, really accurate directions. It's like having a smart helper who knows all the best ways to get where we want to go.

For example, we might be walking along the street and our phone will make a noise and say, "Turn left now." We can follow those directions to get to the park. It's amazing how it knows exactly where we are and exactly where we need to go.

So, in conclusion, GPS helps us find our way to new places and Geo Augmented Navigation makes that process even better by using even more information to make sure we get there quickly and easily.
