GNSS Safety Warning
The iG8 GNSS receiver tracks and utilizes signals from many space based satellite navigation systems:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is solely responsible for the
accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network. Accuracy can also be affected by bad satellite geometry and
obstructions including buildings and tree canopy.
The GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), is a satellite navigation system operated by the Russian
Aerospace Defense Forces.
The Galileo System is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that is operated by the European Union (EU)
and European Space Agency (ESA)
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) (also known as COMPASS or BeiDou-2) is operated by CNSA (China
National Space Administration.)
SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Services) including WAAS (USA), MSAS (Japan), EGNOS (Europe), QZSS
(Asia), and GAGAN (India) may also be utilized by the iG8 for carrier-phase corrections, in addition to
differential corrections.
iGage Mapping Corporation is not responsible for, nor warrants the viability of the space segment portion of the GNSS
system. The user is cautioned that they alone are responsible for determining the application of the iG8 to their task at
hand.
Any of the GNSS system components can fail at any time. Be prepared for down time and failures. Do not us the iG8
receiver for any critical navigation purpose.
