The positioning devices produced are based on the operating principle of the global positioning system GPS. To better understand how navigation devices work, we will have to first learn about GPS navigation devices.
Speaking of GPS, it is a system of 27 satellites moving in orbits around our earth. The US military developed this GPS system with the first military purpose, but now because of its great features, it has now been extended to serve civilian purposes.
A positioning device is a device with a GPS chip attached – which stands for Global Positioning System. This chip is used to transmit and receive signals from artificial satellites orbiting our earth. It relies on the distance from the locator to 3 different satellites to be able to determine where that device is on Earth.
The positioning device can determine the direction of movement, position status, speed of the vehicle…
The navigator receives information from GPS satellites that circle the earth twice a day in a precise orbit. These devices receive information from GPS satellites using trigonometric calculations to accurately calculate the user’s location.
How do the features of a locator device work when it is applied in locating the location of people and vehicles when communicating information to users?
