How GPS works Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables

GPS satellites circle the Earth twice a day in a precise orbit. Each satellite transmits a unique signal and orbital parameters that allow GPS devices to decode and compute the precise location of the satellite. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables GPS receivers use this information and tri lateration to calculate a user's exact location. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Essentially, the GPS receiver measures the distance to each satellite by the amount of time it takes to receive a transmitted signal. With distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine a user's position and display it electronically to measure your running route, map a golf course, find a way home or adventure anywhere.

Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables To calculate your 2-D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement, a GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least 3 satellites. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables With 4 or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3-D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Generally, a GPS receiver will track 8 or more satellites, but that depends on the time of day and where you are on the earth. Some devices can do all of that from your wrist.
Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Once your position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as:

How accurate is GPS? Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables


Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Today's GPS receivers are extremely accurate, thanks to their parallel multi-channel design. Our receivers are quick to lock onto satellites when first turned on. They maintain a tracking lock in dense tree-cover or in urban settings with tall buildings. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Certain atmospheric factors and other error sources can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. Garmin GPS receivers are typically accurate to within 10 meters. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables Accuracy is even better on the water. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables
Some Garmin GPS receiver accuracy is improved with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System). Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables This capability can improve accuracy to better than 3 meters, by providing corrections to the atmosphere. No additional equipment or fees are required to take advantage of WAAS satellites. Users can also get better accuracy with Differential GPS (DGPS), which corrects GPS distances to within an average of 1 to 3 meters. The U.S. Coast Guard operates the most common DGPS correction service, consisting of a network of towers that receive GPS signals and transmit a corrected signal by beacon transmitters. In order to get the corrected signal, users must have a differential beacon receiver and beacon antenna in addition to their GPS. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables

Other GPS Systems Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables


Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables There are other similar systems to GPS in the world, which are all classified as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). GLONASS is a satellite constellation system built by Russia. Activity tracker with GPS Miami Coral Gables The European Space Agency is creating Galileo while China is creating BeiDou. Most Garmin receivers track both GLONASS and GPS, and some even track BeiDou. Activity tracker with GPS Miami Coral Gables You can expect a more reliable solution when you track more satellites. Activity tracker with GPS Miami Coral Gables You could be tracking nearly 20 with newer Garmin products. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables.

The GPS Satellite System Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables


Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables The 31 satellites that currently make up the GPS space segment are orbiting the earth about 12,000 miles above us. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables These satellites are constantly moving, making two complete orbits in less than 24 hours. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables They travel at speeds of roughly 7,000 miles an hour. Small rocket boosters keep each satellite Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables flying on the correct path. Spy Camera RF Detector Miami Coral Gables

Here are some other interesting facts about the GPS satellites:

• The official USDOD name for GPS is NAVSTAR.
• The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978.
• A full constellation of 24 satellites was achieved in 1994.
• Each satellite is built to last about 10 years. Replacements are constantly being built and launched into orbit.
• A GPS satellite weighs approximately 2,000 pounds and is about 17 feet across with the solar panels extended.
• GPS satellites are powered by solar energy, but they have backup batteries onboard, in case of a solar eclipse.
• Transmitter power is only 50 Watts or less.
