Description
The issue is that for your device to offer the most precise position data, it must simultaneously receive strong signals from at least three to four satellites and, ideally, seven to eight. This is why it is ideal to be outside; at the very least, you should strive for this if you want the greatest signal possible. Your device will encounter fewer obstructions this way and will have a better chance of picking up the closest and strongest signal. Additionally, any GPS signal can be impacted by both natural and urban canyons, such as mountains, ridges, forests, and huge buildings in cities. It is significantly more difficult to track precisely and the GPS signal accuracy is decreased in these areas if a satellite is not directly overhead. In other words, the more open sky you can obtain, the more probable it is that the signal you will get will be more accurate. Using a cellphone or other LTE/4G capable device is the alternative typical way to track with GPS (i.e iPad or Android Tablet). These devices may be monitored rather well by using cellular towers and base stations, as well as the distances between these “anchors”.
