Accuracy & error calculation
Regarding Precision Accuracy
Since the GPS satellites are controlled by the US Department of Defense
they do have a very high level of accuracy, however a multipath due to
reflections from buildings and so on could cause errors to occur.
Regarding the Properties of the GPS Electro-
Magnetic Waves and Signal Reception
If there are any obstacles between the GPS antenna and the GPS
satellite, electromagnetic-waves cannot be received from the satellite.
It is also impossible to use GPS positioning in the following locations as
at least three simultaneous electromagnetic-waves are necessary to
take measurements.
Also, if there are any obstacles around the GPS antenna,
electromagnetic-waves cannot be received from the satellite.
• In tunnels • If the immediate area is enclosed by
large objects such as skyscrapers
