A GPS receiver inside an aluminum-sided house may also have some
trouble. Mine, which has no external antenna, has trouble picking up
satellites in my (brick-sided) house and in my (metal-sided) car, other
than on the dashboard near the windshield. If I ever get lost in my
basement, the GPS receiver won't help (hi). My cell phone has much
better coverage, but I'd need a magnifying glass to read the time from
that display.

work anywhere in the world, and give time keeping accuracy better than 1
microsecond relative to UTC.
