GPS What is a GPS? GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite system for navigational positioning anywhere on the earth. GPS information is derived from 24 satellites (4 satellites in 6 orbits) at approximately 20,000 km. At least 3 satellites receive a signal all the time from anywhere (although the actual number of satellites in use at any one time varies). The GPS receiver obtains and processes the almanac data contained in the satellite signal. The receiver also determines current positi

An error margin of ± 10 meters is typical, but possibly as much as two or three hundred meters, depending on circumstances. In this case, the current symbol will differ from the actual current location. For the same reason, the current direction indicated on the personal computer may differ from the actual current location. If you use the unit away from th
