Final answer:
option false, A GPS system determines a device's location using an array of satellites and is true to be a network providing this capability. It offers high accuracy and precision in identifying positions, and the distinction between these is exemplified through attempts to pinpoint a single location.
Step-by-step explanation:
A GPS (Global Positioning System) refers to a complex network of satellites and supporting technologies designed to pinpoint a device's physical location anywhere on Earth. The premise of the question is indeed true. GPS technology facilitates making maps and verifying a location with high accuracy and precision. This system is based on a constellation of at least 24 satellites equipped with precise atomic clocks. A GPS receiver calculates its position by timing the signals received from these satellites.
To illustrate the concepts of accuracy and precision in GPS, we can consider an example where a GPS system is trying to locate a restaurant. If the black dot attempts (each representing a GPS measurement) are close to the actual restaurant location (the center of a target), the system is considered highly accurate. Conversely, if the measurements are close to each other but far from the target location, the system is precise but not accurate.
