The GPS. A great navigation tool!
Ronald Reagen was really at odds with himself
When Ronald Reagen learned that the US congressman, a close friend of his, died in the Korean Air flight OO7 plane crash in 1983, he was completely upside down. In order to know exactly where someone stayed in the future, not only his political faithful but also all the other people, he decided to release the GPS system for civilian use as well.
The Global positioning system (GPS) was initially only opened to the armed forces in the United States, starting in 1967. At that time, it was also known as a global satellite positioning system. Officially, it was then called NAvition Satelite Time And Ranging or NAVSTAR.
With the system, it became possible to navigate content almost anywhere.
After Ronald Reagan's decision to open it to everyone, GLONASS, BelDou and Galileo showed up.
In the beginning, it was not yet known to the general public and mainly worked in the military field, geodesy and shipping.
