What is GPS?

Understanding GPS in the driver system

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a satellite-based navigation system that determines precise location data.

GPS is essential for tracking your drivers using their smartphones. Most devices also use Wi-Fi networks to assist GPS, providing faster and more accurate location detection.

Wi-Fi helps GPS

We recommend that drivers keep Wi-Fi enabled, even if they are not connected to a network. This allows their phones to get quicker and more accurate GPS updates.

How Wi-Fi assists GPS

Smartphones scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks to help estimate your location, even if you are not connected. This helps the device triangulate position more quickly and accurately than GPS satellites alone, especially in urban areas or indoors.
