Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites transmit radio signals used by receivers on the Earth to determine position with very high precision. The operating principle is that a receiver gets signals simultaneously from several different satellites (typically at least four) and uses them to “triangulate” its position. This method relies on precise knowledge of the time and also the time it takes for a satellite signal to reach the receiving position. Until a few years ago, the U.S. government intentionally degraded the timing information so that it had an uncertainty of about 350 ns. Based on this timing error, estimate the precision in meters with which the position can be determined.
