If we are inside, we cannot receive signals broadcast from space. If you have even a rough understanding of how GPS works, you will know you have to connect to satellites that receive messages to your receiver, and connecting to multiple satellites allows your exact position on the surface of the earth to be located. One particular issue with GPS is that it does not work in doors. The quality of GPS sensors varies considerably and an affect how we use the positioning information we get from them.
With the advent of GPS chips in mobile phones, location-aware applications and services are now extremely widely used. We are going to explore one of my favourite geospatial technologies for our foray into hypothesis testing, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), which is a specific form of the more general Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
