The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Air Force.

It is a global navigation satellite system that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

The GPS system operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.

The GPS system provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.

The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

However, the US government can selectively deny access to the system, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 during the Kargil War.

Route planning software is a computer software program designed to plan a (optimal) route between two geographical locations using a journey planner specialized for road networks for the purposes of providing automotive navigation.

It can typically provide a list of places one will pass by, with crossroads and directions that must be followed, road numbers, distances, etc.

It also usually provides an interactive map with a suggested route marked on it.

Many online mapping websites offer road route planning as an additional feature of their mapping functions.

Applications can sometimes also calculate the journey time and cost, and some also display points of interest along the route.

A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other.

A is called a cyclist, or bicyclist.

Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, exercise or sport.

Persons engaged in cycling are referred to as "cyclists", "bikers", or less commonly, as "bicyclists".

Apart from two-wheeled bicycles, "cycling" also includes the riding of unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, recumbent and similar human-powered vehicles (HPVs).

Cycling infrastructure refers to all infrastructure which may be used by cyclists.

This includes the same network of roads and streets used by motorists, except those roads from which cyclists have been banned (e.g., many freeways/motorways), plus additional bikeways that are not available to motor vehicles, such as bike paths, bike lanes, cycle tracks and, where permitted, sidewalks, plus amenities like bike racks for parking and specialized traffic signs and signals.
