Accuracy Conditions

GPS accuracy may vary depending on environmental and operational factors, including:

• Satellite visibility
• Weather conditions
• Urban environments with tall buildings
• Dense tree coverage
• Indoor or underground operation
• Antenna positioning
• Device orientation
• Electromagnetic interference

Optimal accuracy is typically achieved when:

• The device has a clear view of the sky
• Multiple GPS satellites are available
• GPS signal obstruction is minimized
