About GPS System and Location Accuracy

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and 
maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could aff ect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. In 
addition, the GPS system itself limits the accuracy of the distance indicated on the device’s display to within approximately 
3-5 meters of the actual saved location. For more information about GPS, visit Audiovox Electronics Corporation’s Web site
