4. GPS and GPS Signals
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”, which is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and
position information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to
determine an exact location. Satellites orbit the earth at approximately 20,200 km (12,000 miles). While a GPS
receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a
position or “GPS fix” (latitude and longitude) for vehicle navigation systems.
The PiN GPS antenna receives GPS signals. To receive GPS signals, ensure that the PiN is outdoors, or in a
vehicle outdoors, and the GPS antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky. The PiN can operate in all
weather conditions except when it is snowing.
