•    Time and positioning can be obtained easily with the help of a GPS receiver and antenna. GPS works everywhere around the world, even in adverse weather conditions.
•    A GPS system is accurate because it has an atomic clock, powered by 24 earth orbiting satellites. There is an NTP server, which uses it as an external timing reference.

 The ideal location for the GPS antenna is on the rooftop of the car. There is a cable with the GPS antenna, which helps in transmission of signals.
