Getting started

GPS and GPS Signals

The Global Positioning System is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and position

information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to

determine an exact location.

Satellites orbit the earth at around 12,000 miles above the surface. While a GPS receiver can

detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a

position or GPS “ﬁx” (latitude and longitude) for vehicle navigation systems.

SPiN 100 is designed to use GPS information to ﬁnd your current position, and calculate the best

route to your desired destination using the available road maps. SPiN 100 will then guide you with

voice and visual commands to your destination using the continuous stream of GPS data to track

your position.

To receive GPS signals, ensure that the receiver is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an

unobstructed view of the sky. The reciever can operate in all weather types except snowfall.

For details about reading the SPiN 100 GPS Status screen, see page 12.
