Saverino said his GPS is right on top of him. Interesting.

Last night coming home from the store, the GPS showed me in the correct half of the driveway. No joke.

...the same reason XM and Sirrus have trouble indoors.

The GPS uses a constellation of at least 24 (32 by March 2008) Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine their location, speed, direction, and time.
