How this stuff works??
In 1978, the US government launched 24 GPS satellites into our earth’s orbit for military purposes. When you take this device outdoors it starts receiving the signal from the GPS Satellites in the orbit. To find your location on the earth, the receiver should be connected to at least 3 satellites.There are around 5-6 satellites directly above you always. Once it receives the signal, you location can be tracked down.
There is a detailed digital map of India in an 1 GB memory card which is inserted even before you buy it. With this map and with the co-ordinates of your current position on the earth, the device can determine where you are in the map. When you are travelling the device will process the shortest or fastest distance from point A to point B using the existing road map stored in the memory. Even if the the place is not loaded in your map you can find the way by entering the latitude and longitude of the place.
