What is GPS and POI?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide
radio navigation system that uses 24 satellites that orbit the earth. GPS
receivers use these satellite signals to calculate their position to within a
couple of meters. Most GPS devices use Point of Interest (POI) as a frame of
reference for navigation. The Red Light Cameras, Speed Traps and other safety
zones for which PhantomALERT provides warning, are POIs.
