About GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the

government of the United States, which is solely

responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The

accuracy of location data can be affected by adjustments

to GPS satellites made by the United States government

and is subject to change with the United States

Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal

Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by

poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS

signals may be affected by your location, buildings,

natural obstacles, and weather conditions. GPS signals

may not be available inside buildings or underground and

may be impaired by materials such as concrete and metal.
GPS should not be used for precise location measurement,

and you should never rely solely on location data from the

GPS receiver and cellular radio networks for positioning or

navigation.
The trip meter has limited accuracy, and rounding errors

may occur. Accuracy can also be affected by availability

and quality of GPS signals.
The coordinates in the GPS are expressed using the

international WGS-84 coordinate system. The availability

of the coordinates may vary by region.
