The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is. When the sig- nals are strong and reception is good, GPS can determine latitude, longitude and altitude for accurate positioning in three dimensions. But if signal quality is poor, only two dimen- sions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
