Satmap Gps

The Satmap 10 navigation system uses what is known as the Global Positioning System (GPS) - this system uses between 24 and 32 satellites orbiting the earth to determine the precise location anywhere at all.Microwave signals are transmitted and the Satmap GPS receiver uses this information to carry out the calculation. This is possible because the signals sent by the satellites contain information including the time the message was sent and also the exact orbit for the satellite.The Satmap Active 10 receiver can then use the arrival time of each message to measure the distance from the GPS receiver to each of the satellites. The combination of the coordinates it calculates are then converted into longitude and latitude onto a map and displayed on the Active 10 lcd screen.

The constellation of satellites that orbit the earth to provide information for the GPS network is called the Navstar GPS.The system works 24hours a day and provides the Satmap highly accurate location information to those using the GPS network - this includes the usual latitude,logitude and altitude but also velocity and the precide time.The GPS network runs continuous and isn't effected by the weather for example,it has no limits on the number of users either. The GPS network covers both civilian and military users dependent on the quality of the equipment.
