How important are enhancements such as GPS positioning data?

Answer:
Patrick WhitePatrick White

They’re critical. On the battlefield it boils down to situational awareness and knowing where your enemies and friendlies are. With the new technology that’s being integrated into devices today and will be in the future, we’re looking at using GPS coordinates to track specific images with geotagging. So, say you’re on a mission and you’re tracking GPS coordinates with your handheld computer and you come upon an unknown building or person. You take a picture and capture geographical and other data about that building or person, input it into a device, and then upload it to a larger database so that everyone else has access to it. GPS is a critical part of that.

We spend a lot of time and attention within engineering to ensure the highest performance GPS components and antenna structures within our devices.
