The technology behind GPS systems can be complicated. However, a little research into what the various systems are and how they work can make choosing the right GPS system an easier decision. If you have looked into purchasing a GPS or owned a GPS system before then you probably have seen the term WAAS either on packaging or in ads for GPS systems. WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is an intricate GPS technology, which was developed to provide locations that are more accurate.

GPS is a collection of over 2 dozen satellites which orbit the earth...

Surveys are standardized to ensure reliability, generalizability, and validity (see quantitative marketing research). Surveys are a mixture of science and art, and a good researcher will save their cost many times over by knowing how to ask the correct questions. Surveys are flexible in the sense that a wide range of information can be collected. A survey may focus on opinions or factual information depending on its purpose, and many surveys involve administering questions to individuals. Serial surveys are those which repeat the same questions at different points in time, producing time-series data. Structured surveys, particularly those with closed ended questions, may have low validity when...
