Getting
a
Clear
View
of
the
Sky
To receive signals from GPS satellites, you must have a clear view of the sky. GPS does not work indoors.
Anything that blocks light also blocks GPS satellite signals. This includes people, buildings, heavy tree cover, and vehicles.
GPS signals can pass through leaves, plastic, and glass, but these all significantly weaken the signal.
