GPS affected at night: Statistics and solutions

 

High-precision GPS navigation has become unstable and erratic for shifts operating at night from the 1st to 4th regions. In this webinar, we will learn about the tools available to track this phenomenon, understand how it has been affecting operations, know what to expect from now on, and most importantly: how to solve this problem.
