It uses similar theory as in the old days when ships took bearings on known reference points to chart its current location. Instead of bearing angles, GPS uses distances from the satellites (the satellites are constantly moving, (to keep up with the same spot on earth) but they 'know' where they are and transmit this data as well as a timing signal). If you have a signal from at least 4 different satellites, then your GPS can calculate its current position as well as get the correct current time. Rather than go into more detail here, I refer you to the related link, which I think does an excellent job of explaining it.
The GPS , short for global positioning system, is a world wide navigational system that utilizes microwave signals from a group of satellites that orbit the Earth and transmit radio signals back to a GPS receiver.
Yes its global positioning system
A global positioning system (GPS) is used to measure distances from one place to another.
The global positioning system is a network of 24 satellites plus ground based receivers.

"Sistema de posicionamiento global" is a Spanish equivalent of "global positioning system."
Global Positioning Satellite
It says it in the name Global Positioning System/Satellite
A global positioning system (GPS) is used to measure distances from one place to another.
A GPS (Global Positioning System) device purchased anywhere will work anywhere.
you can navigate...
global positioning system helps us to find where we are on earth. in short it is also called (GPS)
A global positioning system is a system to help navigate where you are on the planet. It is guided by satellites and works in any type of weather.
GPS- Global Positioning System Uses satellites to determine it location.
Mobile internet, calling, and our global positioning system would not work.
During the 1970s, the Global Positioning System satellite network first came under development.
