Using the GPS receiver
5
In this chapter:
The Juno series handheld includes an integrated 
GPS receiver that enables you to collect GPS data 
for incorporating into a GIS or for managing 
assets.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a 
satellite-based positioning system consisting of a 
constellation of operational NAVSTAR satellites 
that orbit the earth every 12 hours. This system 
provides worldwide, all-weather, 24-hour time 
and position information. 
Note – 
To receive signals from GPS satellites, the 
handheld must have a clear view of the sky. GPS 
positions may not always be available, particularly 
in or near buildings, in vehicles, or under tree 
canopy.
