The GPS, or Global Positioning System is currently the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). With over two dozen GPS satellites hovering in medium Earth orbit, they are transmitting signals that allow GPS receivers to determine the receiver’s location, speed and direction. Since the first experimental satellite was launched in 1978, the GPS has become an indispensable aid to navigation worldwide, and has become an instrument used in map-making and land surveying. The GPS additionally provides a precise time reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and synchronization of telecommunications networks. So much for the explanation of what a GPS is and what it is intended to accomplish.

A GPS unit really only requires a radio emitter and a clock to work. The emitter sends the time reading of the clock to a overhead satellite. Then the satellite calculates the amount of time that it took for the radio signal to reach it, and then the satellite calculates the distance from this information. Three or four satellites will compare their locations with the amount of time that it took the signal to reach them. This is how they are able to determine your location.
