How Does “GPS” Work?
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by the United States
earth at nearly 11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows
them to circle the earth twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The
signals are timed by clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5
ground stations. These ground stations use the precisely timed signal to determine
each satellite’s exact position in orbit. Your GPS receiver can “hear” the signal sent
accurate latitude, longitude and altitude location information can be determined.

ground stations then work with a master station to correct the satellite signals
