About GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio

navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their

ground stations that monitor the operation of the

satellites. Your device has an internal GPS receiver.
A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the

satellites and measures the travel time of the signals.

From the travel time, the GPS receiver can calculate its

location to the accuracy of metres.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed in degrees and

decimal degrees format using the international WGS-84

coordinate system.

To enable or disable different positioning methods, such

as Bluetooth GPS, press
