A hand-held GPS unit is a receiver that listens to signals from GPS satellites

and uses them to calculate where it ... the receiver ... is located. If you tell

the receiver where something else is located, it doesn't take super high math

to calculate how far that other place is from your location. The GPS receiver

is equipped to do quite a bit of math inside.
