 \subsubsection{What is GPS?}\label{whatsgps}
 
-GPS, the Global Positioning System, is a satellite-based system that
-allows anyone with a GPS receiver to find their exact position anywhere
-in the world. It is used as an aid in navigation, for example in airplanes,
-in boats and by hikers. The GPS receiver uses the signals from the
-satellites to calculate its latitude, longitude and (sometimes) elevation.
-Most receivers also have the capability to store locations (known
-as \emph{waypoints}), sequences of locations that make up a planned
-\emph{route} and a tracklog or \emph{track} of the receivers movement
-over time. Waypoints, routes and tracks are the three basic feature
-types in GPS data. QGIS displays waypoints in point layers while routes
-and tracks are displayed in linestring layers.

 \subsubsection{Loading GPS data from a file}\label{label_loadgps}
 
-There are dozens of different file formats for storing GPS data. The
-format that QGIS uses is called GPX (GPS eXchange format), which is
-a standard interchange format that can contain any number of waypoints,
-routes and tracks in the same file.
