Before GPS even came into the lives of everyday consumers, it was already in use by the military for many years. Even earlier than that, GPS was put to the test by the French and British governments came together on the construction of the new tunnel under the English channel. This channel connects England and France. With those that were performing GPS jobs, it was much easier for the construction crews to tunnel from both ends and dig directly to meet each other. It was because of this success that many underground facilities and mines made use of this technology. It was sort of a test to see if the GPS technology would work. Now in modern day, we use this technology on a daily basis thanks to those early GPS jobs.

Jobs involving GPS have also used systems that can be used in emergency situations to locate people that are either lost or trapped. Most EMS services have also integrated this wonderful technology as part of their everyday working systems. It can come in really handy for these EMS workers to locate a victim’s house for instance. GPS technology makes it much easier for police and firemen to figure out where they need to go. This can result in saving a life and less damage to a home or business.
