About Global Positioning Satellites (GPS)
Operational since 1990, 24 satellites orbit the earth at a height of 11,000 miles. At any
given point on the globe, at least 4 satellites are in view at any one time. Using
sophisticated aerials and triangulation techniques, units such as ROAD ANGEL Gem+
are able to calculate your position to within 5-10 metres.
ROAD ANGEL Gem+ may lose the GPS satellite signal temporarily owing to tunnels, tall
buildings, bridges, dense foliage or adverse weather conditions. When you are clear of
the obstruction, ROAD ANGEL Gem+ should re-acquire satellite signals in a few
seconds.

e UK’s most accurate and
