So… What is GPS? GPS is not a rocket science. I am sure most of you know how GPS works on a day to day basis.

• The GPS device installed on the school buses constantly sends and receives a signal from the satellites.
• Then the GPS receiver receives this signal in the form of a string.
• This information received will be latitude, longitude, ground speed and many more.
• Lastly, the controller now decodes all these information and displays on the map, which is stored in the memory
