GPS Accuracy
The GPS signal CoPilot receives from the constellation of satellites has a rated accuracy of
10 meters. This means that 95% of the time the reported location is within 10 meters (30
feet) of your exact position. CoPilot takes this location information and enhances it further
by "snapping" it to our street and highway network.
Occasionally, CoPilot will place you on the wrong road. If this occurs, keep driving and
CoPilot will automatically correct itself and find your proper position.
At times, CoPilot's GPS tracking will be less accurate or fail to work at all because the unit
is unable to receive satellite signals. However, the unit is resilient; eventually, it finds itself.
Its ability to report your location is directly proportional to its ability to receive accurate
line-of-sight satellite signals.
Heavy foliage, buildings, tunnels, or any other structures
obstructing satellite communications will interfere with CoPilot's ability to track your
location.
Like your car radio, GPS tracking can also be affected by weather conditions if
severe. CoPilot will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available.
NOTE:
The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard to maximize the
satellite reception area.
