If you taking care of the GPS, It will last about 5 years
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
GPS signals are processed in the GPS unit and displayed, and they are also processed via three Global Position Satellites. All four units work together and process GPS signals (some to the satellites from the GPS, and some from the satellites to the GPS) to create an accurate position.
GPS satellites provide location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.

As long as you can see the sky, the GPS satellites can see you. So to 'block' the GPS satellites from "seeing" you, get under something like an overpass or deciduous trees. Flat up against the north or south side of a building helps.
A GPS works by satellites that are located in outer space. These satellites are connected with cameras that show the whole earth. You GPS and the satellites systems are working together to provide maps for you.
GPS uses satellites that were placed into orbit by the Department of Defense. The government set up the entire network on their own, and it is free to use as long as you already have a GPS device.
No. GPS Satellites are free to receive.
You can use a GPS anywhere the satellites shine.
No as GPS is obtained from satellites.
Smartphones use GPS receivers to receive signals from GPS satellites and determine their location. GPS receivers in smartphones work by triangulating the signals from at least four GPS satellites to calculate the phone's latitude, longitude, and altitude.
