GPS Measurement 1-6
GPS Measurement
GPSGPS is the acronym for Global Positioning
System.
The MMCS uses GPS satellites that orbit the
Earth in space at an altitude of approximately
21,000km. Electromagnetic waves from at least
three of these satellites are received on the Earth
by the system, making it possible to learn the
current position.Map MatchingWhen traveling with just the GPS, there may be
errors in the current position display. In such case,
“map matching” is the function that compensates
for this error by assuming that vehicles travel
on roads and placing the current position on a
nearby road.
GPS antenna positionThe position of the vehicle is determined from the
weak electromagnetic waves from GPS satellites
received by the GPS antenna.

NOTESince it may not be possible to accurately display
the vehicle position if the electromagnetic waves
from the GPS satellite are blocked, be sure to
obey the following:
Do not attach reflective-type films or films
containing carbon to the window glass.
Do not place objects on top of or close to the
GPS antenna.
Do not use cellphones, computers, etc. near the
GPS antenna.
Situations where accurate measurement is
not possibleIn situations such as the following, accurate
measurement may not be possible.
Inside a tunnel or indoor parking area Under a two-tier freeway
