How accurate is a GPS when it comes to finding my exact location?

A Global Positioning System (GPS) locates you approximately. It can locate your exact position on the Earth with an accuracy of up to 100 meters or about 330 feet. After asking our system to locate you for your issue report, your location is an approximation, and you should fine-tune the address of your location after using location services.

 

The address that was used on a report is wrong, but I've already submitted it. Can I edit the report?

Yes! For more information, take a look here:

"Give it a second, it's going to space!"

Global positioning systems are an incredible, advanced technology that uses an open protocol that allows everyone to use GPS for free! It's amazing! What's truly amazing is that GPS works with the assistance of satellites in space. So, just remember, if our system seems to be taking a second to find your location, just remember you're talking to a machine in space.
