How does navigation device work?

The positioning devices are produced based on the principle of operation of the global positioning system GPS. To better understand how navigation devices work, we will first have to learn about GPS navigation devices.

Speaking of GPS, it is a system of 27 satellites moving in orbit around our earth. The US military has developed this GPS system for the first purpose of military but now because of its great features, has now been expanded to serve civilian purposes.

What is navigation device?

Positioning device is a device with a GPS chip - short for Global Positioning System: global positioning system. This chip is used to transmit and receive signals from artificial satellites that circulate around our earth. It relies on the distance from the navigation device to 3 different satellites to determine where the device is located on Earth.

Positioning device can determine the direction of movement, position, speed of the vehicle .

Operation of positioning devices

The navigation device picks up information from GPS satellites that fly around the earth twice a day in an accurate orbit. These devices receive information from GPS satellites using trigonometric calculations to accurately calculate the user's location.

Basic features of navigation devices

How does the navigation device function when it is applied in locating the location of people and vehicles when communicating information to users?

  1. The positioning device can determine the direction of travel, the state, the speed of trucks, cars or motorcycles in real time.
  2. Save the transferred route history of the latest 90-day vehicle or the storage period can be up to 1 year if requested by the customer.
  3. Reporting travel time, traveled kilometers, position speed .
  4. Register to drive on GPS navigation software.
  5. Report to the manager of fuel consumption, the amount of fuel in the day, fuel cost to calculate the vehicle efficiency and business efficiency of the vehicle.
  6. Turn off the vehicle remotely with SMS at any distance.
  7. Warning to drivers and managers of information: exceeding the permitted speed, warning to the monitoring area, power on the navigation device, exceeding the permitted speed .
