Why does the GPS not work near buildings and other tall objects? The GPS uses signals from satellites so it needs a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings and other objects that block the GPS receiver’s view to the sky may make it impossible to determine your location. Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases, the device must have a clear view of the horizon.
