Can GPS work in Barbados?

Yes, it GPS should be able to work in Barbados. The only places on earth GPS is known to have trouble getting reception are underground, in the middle of downtowns of large cities where large buildings can reflect the signal, and towards the north and south poles. In all cases, the only places GPS does not work is where it does not have line of sight to the sky. If travelling to Barbados, if you are using a GPS on a cell phone, sometimes it will not work as some cell phones find their location off the location of the cell phone tower, and not off the GPS satellites.
