1) A general commercial GPS system may have an average positioning

error of over 15 meters. It only provides rough positioning data.

2) GPS reception performance is affected by weather or environment.

When the GPS receiver is started, it usually takes a while to lock into

reception performance. It is recommended to use a GPS external

antenna on the top of a car to improve signal reception.
