What is GPS and do I need a GPS enabled Cell phone?
GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS is the most accurate type of Location Based Service (LBS). The Global Positioning System, usually called GPS, is the only fully-functional satellite navigation system. A constellation of more than two dozen GPS satellites broadcasts precise timing signals by radio to GPS receivers, allowing them to accurately determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) in any weather, day or night, anywhere on Earth.
Because Smarter Agent tells you what homes sold for around you, it is necessary to have a GPS enabled cell phone to use all of the features offered by our Recently Sold Homes application
To learn more about Global Positioning Satellite and Location Based Services please go to our learn about GPS/LBS page.
