GPS works like a distance measuring device using a laser.... the only difference is it uses time intervals. GPS consist of some components such as the satellite receiver , atomic clocks, power supply and etc.
Lets start from GPS satellite... in these satellites they have we so called the atomic clocks. These clocks gives time and being sent by the transmitter in the satellite in all direction and within this direction the GPS receiver we have onland or on seas can detect this and try to calculate at what time it received the signal. This calculation will give you the bearing(direction) and distance travelled by this signal, with 3 satellites it can give you the accurate position of your receiver by plotting these distances and directions(cross-bearings).

A GPS will work anywhere it can receive adequate signals, and assuming you have a decent antenna, any GPS will work in an airplane. However, a GPS that is not programmed for aviation uses will not be nearly as useful as one that is. A car GPS or trekking GPS may give you lat/long readouts, which may be of some use in an aircraft, but they will be of limited use for a flight.
