6About GPSGPS (Global Positioning System) satellites continuously emit signals for positioning on the Earth. As a GPS antenna receives these signals, users can be informed of their location (latitude, longitude and altitude) anywhere on the Earth. Information must be received from three satellites in order to obtain two-dimensional fixes (altitude and longitude), and four satellites are required for three-dimensional positioning (latitude, longitude and altitude). As GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Department of Defense, a deliberate margin of error between a few feet (a few meters) and 30 feet (10 meters) exists. As a result, the GPS navigation system may include an error of between 30 feet (10 meters) and about 700 feet (200 meters), depending on the circumstances. As GPS information is obtained using signal from satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain the information when using the system in the following locations: Tunnel or undergroundUnder a highwayBetween high buildingsBetween tall trees with dense foliage
