Abstract

The study of satellite navigation technologies in educational courses became common at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The practical use of satellite navigation for educational purposes was developed in 2000 and is actively used in the educational process in many countries. This problem has become especially relevant in technological progress when global positioning systems accompany people daily. In school life, satellite navigators are a powerful technical tool that opens new opportunities for learning and teaching. Satellite navigation provides an opportunity to familiarise students with the concept of coordinates and teaches them to orient themselves in the area both with the help of a map and compass and a navigator’s help. In addition, the navigation device is a powerful tool for teaching geography, biology, history, and mathematics. It studies wild nature, compiles relief maps, and conducts local history research. Satellite navigation for game purposes has become widely used in school geographical education in Europe and the USA. Such educational and entertaining games include geocaching, geotating, and geographic crowdsourcing. At the same time, unfortunately, satellite navigation is not used correctly in the Ukrainian school geographic educational system.
