Understanding GPS Functionality

What is the primary purpose of the GPS system?

• To assist in navigation

• To broadcast television signals

• To provide weather updates

• To offer internet connectivity

How many satellites are required for a GPS receiver to function accurately?

• At least four

• At least three

• At least two

• At least one

What does a white bar on the GPS signal strength graph indicate?

• The GPS has acquired the signal

• The GPS is still trying to get the signal

• The GPS signal is lost

• The GPS signal is very strong

What is the significance of the bars on the GPS signal strength graph?

• They indicate battery life

• They show the number of satellites

• They represent signal strength

• They display the current time

Which feature is NOT typically found in a GPS device?

• Altimeter

• Compass

• Calculator

• Weather forecast

What does the GPS altimeter measure?

• Time taken for a trip

• Speed of movement

• Distance traveled

• Elevation above sea level

What happens to GPS signal reception near tall buildings or dense forests?

• Signal strength increases

• Signal may be lost

• Signal strength remains unchanged

• Signal becomes more accurate

What should you do if you lose GPS signal in a dense area?

• Restart the GPS device

• Wait for the signal to return

• Increase the volume of the device

• Move to a different location

What is a waypoint in GPS terminology?

• A GPS signal strength indicator

• A type of GPS device

• A satellite in orbit

• A location you want to reach

How does the GPS indicate the direction to a waypoint?

• By displaying a compass rose

• By highlighting the destination in red

• By showing a pink straight line

• By providing voice instructions
