4. GPS receiver must not excessively attenuate the signal In practice water containing objects such as people trees or other dense vegetation can cause problems The signals will not penetrate rocks or buildings or any metallic materials However the receiver typically works well under relatively thin plastic fabric or wooden covers e g inside boats ACCURACY To calculate a position a GPS receiver usually requires simultaneous reception from at least four satellites The position accuracy typically increases with the number of satellites being tracked but the most important factor is actually the relative geometric position of the satellites The best position estimate is obtained when satellites from different directions and angles can be tracked In other words the less obstructed the receiver s view of the sky the better the accuracy 10 The accuracy also improves with the number of measurements made on the same spot as some errors will be averaged out Under all in view satellite conditions a global average horizontal positioning error is 7 8 meters 95 confidence level However depending on the satellite constellation and the distortion the GPS signal experiences when traveling through the ionosphere the instantaneous accuracy can vary from a couple of meters to over ten meters The vertical position estimate is roughly two times more inaccurate than the horizontal Because of this inevitable vertical inaccuracy of GPS positio
