How Does “GPS” Work? GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by the United States Department of Defense, GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth at nearly 11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows them to circle the earth twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The signals are timed by clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5 ground stations.
Warnings and Notices GPS System & Map Data Accuracy Notice: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. All map data sources contain some level of inaccuracies or incomplete data. Bushnell strives to provide the most recent map information at a reasonable cost.
