About GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based navigation system operated by the
U.S. Department of Defense which is responsible for its performance. The GPS
Navigation System is made up of 24 GPS satellites orbiting above the surface of the
Earth. It needs 4 satellites to gain current latitude, longitude and elevation information.
GPS satellite signal will be blocked by metal or thick material, GPS signal is not
available under roof, inside buildings, tunnels, deep water and underground.
When satellites searched are fewer than 4pcs, the speed and ODO information may be
inaccurate.
