HOW DOES GPS WORK?

The GPS, is a high technological device that

uses between 24 and 32 satellites in the earth
orbit.

DETERMINING POSITION.

Microwave signals.

DETERMINING POSITION.

Is necessary three satellites for determine

GPS receiver position.

ground stations control the distances

between the earth and satellites.

The satellite sends the data position to

ground receiver.

the accuracy of the GPS devices depends in

a high time measurement, and small timeposition differences.

DETERMINING POSITION.

GENERAL STEPS

Ground station control satellite position.

The satellites determine GPS receiver

position and send data collection.

GPS receiver use a high technological

software to mapping the real position.
