How Does “GPS” Work?
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by the United States
Department of Defense, GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the
earth at nearly 11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows
them to circle the earth twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The
signals are timed by clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5
ground stations. These ground stations use the precisely timed signal to determine
each satellite’s exact position in orbit. Your GPS receiver can “hear” the signal sent
by the satellite. By calculating the position and distance of at least 4 satellites,
accurate latitude, longitude and altitude location information can be determined.
WAAS adds to your GPS’s accuracy. WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation
System. WAAS was designed by the United States Federal Aviation Administration,
primarily to add in the accuracy of GPS for planes. WAAS consists of the group
of additional ground stations placed at known and precisely located spots. These
ground stations then work with a master station to correct the satellite signals
improving accuracy to within nearly 3 meters. WAAS reception may be turned on
in the SET page menu-however, the default setting is “Off” due to the additional
battery drain it causes
