lol
can someone tell me…how to detect speed with GPS receiver?
How women see technics.
hhahahah cool
nice video
PADEEGPS DOT COM love this one.
some things are so similar with mr bean lol
After almost three years, nothing much has changed for GPS technology, but this video clip is evergreen and wins my vote for the funniest video on youtube.
what program u use please tell me
thanx….
ZoomIn satelite – awesome idea)))
HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLARIOUS
We are amused
Don’t you just hate when that happens?
hahahahahahahaha
I never leave home without mine nowdays, I just sent my cousin over to gpssatnavreviews (.) com he is in the market for the latest model.
how do you drive using a map and still concenrate on the road ahead? What is the best way to drive using a map or atlas whichever? are you meant to plan you’re way points before setting of on a piece of paper in large writing fonts. It’s very difficult to read a map safely while driving due to the small scale
Does anyone know that if you have a GPS in your car or on your phone other people can see it? INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT
nice shirt
Very nice!:) Clever.
that satelite! xD
GREAT !!!
@TheJuicyfruitx Thanks! It took about 3 weeks to make
Very clever! I love it.
that was funny as fuck. how long did it take 2 make?

hhhh stuck in black world
@BloatedSensations Technically GPS isn’t free because the money to support it comes from taxes. So it is paid by the U.S. taxpayers. Additionally, GPS was strictly for government/military use, but was opened up to the public. So if you look at it that way, we (the public) were given GPS without additional costs. It costs Billions of dollars to maintain these satellites, but we have no additional costs to use it (no subscription for our personal gps devices).
GPS is only so accurate because they include Einstein’s equations. Otherwise it wouldn’t be as accurate.
also, China recently launched the first satellite of Beidou, their own global navigation satellite system, since they obviously don’t want to be dependent on the evil imperialists for their military needs. Within a decade, GPS will no doubt be one of several redundant systems which will allow for continuity of service worldwide.
@airjaimika private companies won’t, but international organizations could. The European Union is in the process of constructing Galileo, a similar sat-nav system; nine of the satellites are already operational. The Russian GLONASS system has been around since the early ’90s. The construction of Galileo has partially been driven by fears of the USAF making the system unavailable, but that is highly unlikely as so much of our infrastructure is dependent on GPS.

@BloatedSensations GPS is a US military system, when the time comes they can turn it off, and also they can add an error to the signals , hence making your equipment useless/inaccurate whilst correcting for the error in their own systems.
The reason its free for public use is because that way no private company will set up a parallel system that the USAF can not control.
@BloatedSensations american propaganda is the cancer of the world, I agree.
@stdavross666 Of course they do. But that’s inconsequential. They still rely on the GPS sat. signal network for a great many applications. They need the service in place for their own purposes, and while it’s in place, there’s no practical way to stop others using it. They are NOT providing the sat. system to the world as an act of generosity. I just get a chuckle out of the illustration that the military never misses any opportunity, no matter how small, to throw a little propaganda out there.
@BloatedSensations I think the US military have more functionality than what the public have.
Lol! What a load of crap. GPS is provided to the world by the USAF free of charge? He makes it sound as though they’re just doing it out of the goodness of their own hearts. The USAF designed, implemented, and use it for their own navigational purposes. Because of this, the signals are there, and anyone can pick them up and use use them to feed a positioning device, and it would be a practical impossibility for the gov to enforce anything approaching a total restriction.
thank you brad buckman
hey dude gps can use 3 sats, for the position on land and water. aircrafts require 4 sats. thk u : )
amazing,thanks for this
I love the technology, fyi before I bought I checked out gpssatnavreviews (.) com
Never use GPS during a war, coz they change routes upside down to confuse their enemy
Hm, interesting, never knew the AF were providing us gps capabilities.
@katastihon god bless Afghanistan
Thank you? for this very well done and informative video.
Who knows? one day, gps navigation will be used only for non-military means..
Thank’s Col Dave keep the good work up Daryl….
Thank you USAF
GOD BLESS USA!
