What is GPS?

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 utilised by GPS receivers,
such as your Mio, 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.
Your Mio receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To
guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Mio
is outdoors or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an unobstructed
view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually affected by weather,
however, very heavy rain or snow may have a negative effect on
your reception.
It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use your
Mio in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury
or property damage. Always observe safe driving practices.
On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by your Mio
may be further than the distance shown on road signs. Road
signs show the distance to the start of an exit while your Mio
shows the distance to the next intersection, i.e., the end of
the exit ramp or road. To prepare to exit a road, always follow
distance information on road signs.
