2.1  Global Positioning System 

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location 

and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole 

responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who are responsible 

for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy may 

impact the operation of your GPS receiver. Environmental conditions will affect the 

operation of your GPS receiver. TomTom B.V. cannot accept any liability for the 

availability and accuracy of GPS. 

2.2  Use With Care 

Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means substitute for the need to 

drive with due care and attention. 

2.3  Aircraft and Hospitals 

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in 

many other locations. The TomTom Wireless GPS Mk II receiver must not be used in 

these environments.
