Marine GPS is exactly the same as terrestrial GPS - it uses the same satellites, the same control system, and the same methodology for calculating your position. The only real difference is that instead of a roadmap, you display a marine chart, and instead of allowing the GPS to calculate a route, you need to be able to plot your own course.
