It doesn't know where you are going, but it knows where you are at the moment. It does this by triangulating your signal with several satellites orbiting the earth in fixed orbit. The technology was first used by the military, but now can be accessed for civilian usage. The civilian usage is accurate to a few yards, but the military accuracy is accurate to a foot or less. By comparing your signal with several satellites it can determine where you are anywhere on earth.
