72 Juno Series Handhelds User Guide
Using the GNSS receiver
The Juno series handheld includes an integrated GNSS receiver that enables you to
collect GNSS data for incorporating into a GIS or for managing assets. The integrated
receiver tracks only Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
GPS is a satellite-based positioning system consisting of a constellation of operational
NA
VSTAR satellites that orbit the earth every 12 hours. This system provides
worldwide, all-weather, 24-hour time and position information.
Note – T
o receive signals from GPS satellites, the handheld must have a clear view of the
sky. GNSS positions may not always be available, particularly in or near buildings, in
vehicles, or under tree canopy.
