[RC] GPS, another question - Jonni

GPS's get their signals from satellites. The more satellites they pick up,
the more accurate the reading.  There are 24 satellites up there, that are
used for GPS's.  If you are in heavy cover, it can block the signal between
some of the satellites to the GPS. Clouds do not cause problems. Here is an
interesting article, that explains a bit more.
