Why GPS Fails In Cities. And What Researchers Think Could Fix It

Urban areas pose significant challenges for standard GPS due to signal interference from tall buildings. Researchers at NTNU developed SmartNav, a system that combines satellite corrections, wave analysis, and 3D building data to improve accuracy. This new system achieved accuracy within 10 centimeters in most tests, promising significantly enhanced navigation in cities. SmartNav could provide affordable and reliable GPS solutions for everyday devices like smartphones, making urban navigation more accurate globally.
