PROSPROS CONSCONS
Extreme accuracy Passive Technology Works well under
heavy weather conditions
Can efficiently display coordinates
Provides up to date, useful information
Signals can be degraded by the Department of Defense
Signal can be obstructed with tall buildings around
Can be useless indoors Accuracy can only be
limited to 100 minutes Takes time for newer
receivers to adjust and find satellites
