Yes, GPS (Global Positioning System) relies on a constellation of artificial satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites transmit signals that allow GPS receivers to determine their precise location by triangulating the signals from multiple satellites. The system is essential for navigation and various applications across industries.
A GPS stands for Global Positioning Satellite and is a device which uses satellite location to determine your position. A caddie is a device which is a container or carrier for another item. As such, a GPS caddie is an item which holds a GPS.

The difference is the same as in other contexts.* "Artificial" means that something was created by humans. * "Natural" means that it was NOT created by humans.
The only artificial satellite on Mars is the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been in orbit around the planet since 2006.
There is no single word to describe such an object.
Spying; GPS or similar navigation systems; weather satellites; astronomical observations; communications.
Satellite. Satellites can be natural, like the Moon, or artificial like GPS satellites.
The name of the second satellite can vary depending on the context. It could be any specific satellite's name, such as "Hubble Space Telescope," "GPS satellite," or "ISS (International Space Station) satellite."
Satellites have a variety of different jobs some broadcast television while others are used in GPS systems.

The easiest way is differential GPS like surveyors use. Add an artificial reference satellite on ground with receiver and calculates errors between its known location and GPS location. This can do mm accuracy even with just civilian CA code.
An artificial satellite is a man made object that orbits a planet or a moon.
by satellite.
A satellite is an object that orbits another. Hence the earth is a satellite of the sun, and the moon is a satellite of the earth because they orbits those respective bodies. Artificial satellites (GPS, weather, etc) are man made objects that orbit another body (typically the earth).
Here's a link to a website that offers a lot of interesting information to learn about GPS satellite tracking. http://www.edu-observatory.org/gps/tracking.html
A satellite is any object in orbit. An artificial satellite is specifically placed in orbit by human endeavor.
Artificial - as in made by humans - yes
