Appendix A--Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use my StreetPilot indoors?
A:
Although the StreetPilot cannot receive actual satellite signals indoors, it is possible
to put the unit in “Simulator Mode” (see page 6). In fact, we recommend you use the
unit in simulator mode to learn it and practice looking up locations and points of
interest.
Q: Do I need to subscribe to a service to use my StreetPilot?
A:
No. The GPS satellites are owned by the United States Department of Defense
(DoD) and have been funded by U.S. taxpayers’ dollars. Reception of GPS satellite
signals is free to everyone.
Q: Does my StreetPilot work anywhere in the world and in any weather?
A:
Yes.
Q: How accurate is a GARMIN GPS?
A:
The StreetPilot is accurate to within 100 meters under the DoD-imposed Selective
Availability (S/A). Without S/A, the StreetPilot is accurate to within 15 meters.
Using differential techniques, the StreetPilot can be as accurate as 1-5 meters.
