At Anchor Tank Lines we are proud to introduce the use of GPS to better service the needs of our customers.
What is GPS?- GPS stands for The Global Positioning System.
- It is funded by and controlled by the U. S. Department of Defense. While GPS is used by many people world-wide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U. S. military.
- The system consists of a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit above Earth's surface and continuously send signals to ground stations that monitor and control GPS operations.
- Although GPS has many benefits, in recent years a common use has been vehicle tracking.
