GPS (Global Positioning System) works by a network of satellites orbiting the Earth that transmit signals to GPS receivers on the ground. The GPS receiver calculates the distance from multiple satellites to determine its exact location through a process called trilateration. By receiving signals from at least four satellites, the GPS receiver can pinpoint its location with high accuracy.
