GPS routing
Satellite path guidance
GPS routing is the process of calculating a travel path between locations using satellite navigation data.
A GPS device or app analyzes road networks, traffic conditions, and user preferences to generate turn-by-turn directions: The GPS routing sent us through back roads to avoid the highway backup.
Modern systems update routes dynamically as conditions change.
