Spherical trigonometry is used to locate places on the earth's surface. All maps are based on trigonometry.
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) depends on three or more satellites picking up radio signals from your device. Trigonometry is then used to triangulate your position - that is, determine where you are in relation to each of the satellites. This gives your current location, from which you can navigate to your destination.
