GPS – Vital Automotive Technology
A highly desirable piece of equipment, the GPS satellite receiver is now a popular feature on many 2007 cars, trucks, and SUVs. The GPS system functions by triangulating the signals of a set of 24 NavStar earth orbiting satellites in six orbits (4 satellites each) around the earth.
At the very basic level, a GPS device displays travel information, such as local attractions, directions and distance to your destination. The navigation system on the new 2007 Acura MDX, along with its satellite radio, and Bluetooth phone synching add fun and functionality. GPS navigation systems offer many other optional capabilities.
