Q.What is GPS?
A.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite positioning system. A constellation of satellites broadcasts signals around the world that can be used by GPS receivers to determine positions using triangulation. The signals are free and can be received anywhere on Earth where there is a clear view of the sky.
Q.How accurate is the GPS receiver?
A.GPS accuracy ranges from 20 meters to 100 meters. Most of the time the GPS is accurate within 30 meters, which is about 32 yards.
Q.What is an ideal GPS environment?

Weather conditions do not impact the performance of GPS. If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move away to have a clear view of the sky and then use PC*MILERMobile. The phone should be attached to the windshield in the holder for best performance.
