Global Positioning System (GPS): a system developed and operated by the United States government that pinpoints your present location by utilizing latitudinal and longitudinal data received from either 3 or 4 satellites.

Situations when GPS signal reception is impossible

The following are situations when the GPS signal cannot be received:

● When the GPS signal is obstructed while driving through building clusters, tunnels or overpasses

● When the signal is obstructed because an object is placed near or on the GPS antenna

● When the GPS satellite is not sending any signals (signal emission may be halted due to modifications or repairs conducted by the U.S. Tracking Control Center, the organization responsible for controlling GPS signals)

Screen with GPS signal reception in progress

Introduction

● When a digitally formatted cellular telephone unit is brought near the GPS antenna

Handling the GPS antenna
