The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers, such as your B10, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems. To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your B10 is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors and has an unobstructed view of the sky. Your B10 can operate in all weather types except snowfall.
