GPS and GPS Signals

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and
position information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites, and use the
information to determine an exact location.
GPS satellites orbit the Earth at around 12,000 miles. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from
up to 12 satellites at any time, only three are needed to provide the two-dimensional position or
“x” (latitude and longitude) required for vehicle navigation systems. GPS data is available free of
charge for any user.
SmartS is designed to use GPS information to nd your current position, and calculate the best
route to your desired destination using the available road maps. SmartS will then guide you with
voice and visual commands to your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track
your position.
