CHAPTER 8 USING GPS NAVIGATION

Introduction

The MC65 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS technology is based on a worldwide
system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals
contain data on the satellites' locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on
the earth.
