I am italian, and I have not a very good English. The device send a signal, 4 satellites receive it and measure, with the signal, the distance between they and the device. With this measures, the device calculate the only point possible in the space. In this point obviously there are the GPS.

The program of the device associates the point with the point in the map.

It is the work of the GPS.
