    GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to Earth. The GPS receiver that is located in your Navus takes this information and uses triangulation to calculate your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received.
