The method is too complex to describe here in detail, but the system of hardware
and software that implements the method is the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Global Positioning System
The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and operated and maintained by other countries.
You mean latitude and longitude?
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of satellite tracking that uses a network of satellites to determine the latitude and longitude of a person or object on Earth. It provides accurate and real-time information about the location, speed, and altitude of the target. GPS is widely used in various applications, including navigation, transportation, and outdoor activities.
It depends on the specifics of the network. If it involves satellites, no. If there are no satellites, then yes.
Yes, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is a survey-based system that can precisely determine latitude and longitude coordinates on the Earth's surface. It utilizes a network of satellites that transmit signals to GPS receivers, allowing them to calculate their exact location based on the time it takes for the signals to reach them. This technology enables accurate positioning for various applications, including navigation, mapping, and surveying.
It's all down to timing ! Ground stations 'decode' the amount of time it takes for a signal to 'bounce' from the satellite to the Earth. This pinpoints the location of each GPS satellite - and thus the necessary calculations produce the coordinates
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system that allows users to determine their precise location anywhere on Earth. It consists of a network of satellites orbiting the planet, ground control stations, and GPS receivers. By triangulating signals from multiple satellites, GPS can provide accurate information about latitude, longitude, and altitude. It is commonly used in navigation, mapping, and various applications across different industries.

GPS does not use internet, it uses a constellation of US Airforce satellites that transmit coded radio messages. A GPS receiver picking up the radio messages from at least 4 of these satellites can decode them and determine latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC time with great accuracy.
