GNSS allows GPS receivers to determine their exact location (geographical longitude, latitude and altitude) with a precision of a few meters using extremely precise time signals that are obtained with an atom clock and transmitted by radio from the satellites. GPS receivers calculate the time and positioning data and as a result they provide us with information about our position, speed, distance travelled, etc. The global coverage is usually achieved by a constellation of 20 to 30 satellites that are spread between several orbital planes, about 20,000 km from the Earth’s surface.
