Checking the quality of the GPS signal
The better the GPS signal, the more TRACK-Leader can work precisely and reliably. The quality of the GPS signal depends on several factors:
- ▪
- On the model of the GPS receiver;
- ▪
- On the geographical location (correction satellites are not available in some areas of the world);
- ▪
- On local shadowing effects in the field (trees, mountains).
