Unlock the mystery behind the blue dot on your smartphone with the official "How GPS Works" poster from the Government Publishing Office (GPO). Designed for clarity, impact, and durability, this poster is the ultimate visual guide to the Global Positioning System—the invisible utility that powers modern life.

Why This Poster Stands Out
- Visual Mastery: High-resolution graphics illustrate the "Trilateration" process, showing exactly how signals from 20,000 km above the Earth pinpoint your location within meters.
- Comprehensive Scope: Covers the three segments of GPS: the Space Segment (satellites), the Control Segment (ground stations), and the User Segment (your devices).
- Built for Real-World Use: Printed on heavy-duty stock designed to withstand frequent handling and long-term display.
- Bulk Ready: Strategically shipped in packs of 15, making it the perfect choice for school districts, government agencies, and corporate training centers.
