Indeed! I heard the system relies on GPS for navigation. I wonder -- Does it
have its own GPS receiver or does it integrate into the AVL system which all TfL

from more evenly spaced buses and more accurate Countdown displays, which would
be nice.


this is the relevant link from the TfL Buses website
