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 “fix” (latitude and longitude) required for
vehicle navigation systems. GPS data is available free of charge for any user.
Smart
is designed to use GPS information to find your current position, and calculate the best route to your
desired destination using the available road maps. Smart will then guide you with voice and visual commands to
your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track your position.
