Your receiver can track hundreds of different signals, and filter out the ones you don't need. But how does it get down to a centimetre?

It takes more than just tracking a bunch of additional satellites. A GNSS receiver uses signals from navigation satellites to calculate its position. GPS is one satellite constellation; compatible GNSS equipment can also use systems such as Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou.

That means three things deserve your attention when looking at receivers:
- What signals can your receiver track?
- Where are its corrections coming from?
- How are you checking the resulting coordinates?

A GNSS receiver processes satellite signals for precise positioning. Explore receiver types, accuracy, correction methods, and key buying factors.
