Earth passing overhead twice daily A series of ground stations with precisely surveyed locations controls the satellites and monitors their exact loca tions in the sky Each satellite broadcasts a low power signal that identi fies the satellite and its position above the earth Three of these satellites are spares unused until needed The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position This is called a 2D fix It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation your height above sea level also called altitude This is called a 3D fix Remember the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals Unlike radio or television signals GPS works at very high frequencies These signals can be easily blocked by trees buildings an automobile roof even your body Like most GPS receivers this unit doesn t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside It relies solely on the signals from the sat ellites to calculate a position Speed direction of travel and distance are all calculated from position information Therefore in order for the GlobalMap Baja to determine direction of travel you must be moving and the faster the better This is not to say that it won
