About GPS / Caution
About GPS
Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite system developed by the Department of Defense of US. GPS consists of 32
satellites that circle the earth and are 11,000 miles away from the ground. These satellites make two circles of the earth
per day and emit signals of extremely low power which will be received and recorded by 5 ground stations. These ground
stations will use precise time signals to confirm accurate position of each satellite. Your GPS receiver can “pick” signals
sent out by the satellites. An accurate latitude, longitude and height can be determined through calculation on positions
and distances of at least 4 satellites.
WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) can enhance the precision of GPS. It is designed by Federal Aviation
Administration of US and mainly used to enhance precision of GPS on a plane. WAAS is combined with extra ground
station groups which were set up in the places located precisely. These ground stations can work together with a
master console
CAUTION
Global Position System (GPS) was developed and is managed by United States Department of Defense (DOD) that is
responsible for its normal operation and position precision control; the U.S. is entitled to affect function or position
precision of the whole system without prior notification or announcement based on its political considerations or safety
of national defense.
