![Page 42: For Consumer Directed Services (CDS) & Financial ... · Cable internet provider FIXED VOIP (e.g., Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, etc.) Unallowable Phone Types: Phone service provided](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fadcd7016f212458002b131/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
GPS Technology
What is GPS?• Acronym for Global Positioning Service
• A navigational system using satellite signals to fix the location of a
radio receiver on or above the earth's surface
GPS uses satellite signals to determine the geolocation of a device receiving the signals.
![Page 43: For Consumer Directed Services (CDS) & Financial ... · Cable internet provider FIXED VOIP (e.g., Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, etc.) Unallowable Phone Types: Phone service provided](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fadcd7016f212458002b131/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
GPS Geolocation
An example of GPS Geolocation is…• Latitude and Longitude coordinates
are used to identify a location on a map
• Geolocation of the Texas Capitol:30.274665200, -97.740350500
• The first number is Latitude
• The second number is Longitude
Example: Satellite Signals used to find a Location
![Page 44: For Consumer Directed Services (CDS) & Financial ... · Cable internet provider FIXED VOIP (e.g., Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, etc.) Unallowable Phone Types: Phone service provided](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fadcd7016f212458002b131/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A geolocation is a specific point in space; an address occupies a range of space.
To confirm the location of an address, a range of geolocation coordinates is used.
GPS Technology
![Page 45: For Consumer Directed Services (CDS) & Financial ... · Cable internet provider FIXED VOIP (e.g., Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, etc.) Unallowable Phone Types: Phone service provided](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fadcd7016f212458002b131/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
ADVANTAGES:• Less intrusive than landline phones or SADs for the client receiving services.• More efficient data entry with fewer errors.• Efficiency features, such as alerts and messages to employees.
LIMITATIONS:• Employee must own a smartphone with GPS capabilities and must agree to
use the smartphone for EVV.• Smartphone cannot be jailbroken or rooted in a manner that would allow Mock
GPS to be programmed into the phone.• If the employee lives in the same apartment complex as the individual, GPS
may not be able to detect the difference in location between the employee’s home and the client’s home.
• Smartphone maps may have the wrong geolocation for an address.
