Navstar by San Diego Air & Space Museum Archives on Flickr:
Providing continuous global coverage in all weather, the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System will give suitably equipped users three-dimensional positioning and velocity information and a precise timing reference in real time. Besides routine navigation, possible applications include search-and-rescue operations, land and aerial rendezvous, and geodetic surveys.
This Rockwell International promotional image presumably predates the launch of the first NAVSTAR satellite in 1978.
