About GPS and GNSS

The VM9424BT uses a vehicle GPS (Global Positioning System)-based

navigation device which utilizes digital map data to guide you from your

selected location A to location B, using location information obtained from a

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio

signals containing time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a

receiver, allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around

the globe. Navigation Satellite Receivers (GPS devices) use this transmitted

information to calculate an exact location on the earth. Every point on Earth

can be identified by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the information

sent by at least three satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving

device.

By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the

time they were recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is.

The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reflects its position

on the surface of the planet. Using these distance measurements, the receiver

might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time, distance to
