From the Paper:
"The ability to return to a specific location or to know the exact position of where one is has been a major dilemma since our evolution into a bipedal organism. Prior to the introduction of sophisticated navigational systems, humans found their way around the planet using the stars, recognizable landforms, or by marking trails so that the return to an initial location is possible.The necessity of a more precise system of navigation began to appear as a result of military interventions throughout the world. This need to know where soldiers were located on a battlefield or where a ship was headed to led to the development of our modern Global positioning system (GPS) system."
