What else can I help you with?
How are GIS and GPS related?
GPS (global positioning system) gathers geographic positioning data and converts to a file that can be used by a GIS (global information system) which can map it to show the location of the actual coordinates.
What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How many satellites does Tom Tom GPS use?
Every GPS unit needs a minimum of four (4) satellites to compute a 3-dimensional position, and performs more accurate calculations with more satellites. I think my TomTom is capable of using 12 simultaneous satellites if it can see that many. Yours may be different.
What are the 3 primary GIS data types that GPS receivers collect?
The 3 primary GIS data types that GPS receivers collect are: spatial data (latitude and longitude coordinates), attribute data (information about the location like elevation or time), and metadata (details about the data collection process such as accuracy or date).
How many minimum satellites are required for a Gis device to work?
a GPS device will need at least 3 satellite locks to work.
User difference between gis and gps?
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is tool to display and analyze information geographically. GPS (Global Positioning Systems) is a technology that uses satellites to give one its position on the Earth with the aid of a GPS device or unit. GPS can be incorporated into GIS by using a GPS device to collect points, lines, or polygons, which can be imported into a GIS application for future analysis and interpretation.

What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How many satellites are in the GPS array?
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)
How many satellites are in the GPS?
24 active with 6 spares.
How many satellites are used by gps?
32
What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)
