B10 Bluetooth GPS Receiver | Introduction

GPS and GPS Signals
The B10 receiver will send the GPS position information to your PDA or laptop computer which may
then be used by your third-party software to plot your position on a map and direct you to your
destination.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within
5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around
20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers,
such as your B10, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from
up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude
and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems.
To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your B10 is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors
and has an unobstructed view of the sky. Your B10 can operate in all weather types except snowfall.
