for receiving GPS signals from one or more satellites in a preselected
area of the sky, a transmitting aerial for transmitting the received
GPS signals; and, RF amplification means for enhancing the received
GPS signals before transmitting into an indoor area is disclosed. One
or more such GPS repeater units are used to reproduce the satellite
