About GPS and GNSS
The AMN101 is a vehicle GPS (Global Positioning Satellite)-based navigation device which
utilizes digital map data to guide you from your selected location A to location B, using location
information obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing
time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to
pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around the globe. Navigation Satellite Receivers
(GPS devices) use this transmitted information to calculate an exact location on the earth.
Every point on Earth can be identified by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the
information sent by at least three satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving
device.
By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were
recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver
from three or more satellites reflects its position on the surface of the planet. Using these
distance measurements, the receiver might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time,
distance to destination, altitude, etc. The GPS position may be displayed as a point on a digital
map (at least three satellites' signals must be received) and as the GPS device moves the
corresponding trace is displayed as well.
Please keep in mind that although the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through
clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellite-navigation receivers will not
work underground or in some enclosed spaces.
Smart2Go Navigation / Tele Atlas Map Data
The AMN101 2GB SD card is pre-loaded with the Smart2Go navigation engine and Tele Atlas
map data. The map data covers the continental US, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
