    Thanks for the link Frank, but I'm afraid the author (Sophia Chen) has a poor understanding of how GPS works, she wrote:

    This is actually how GPS works. Satellites pinpoint your location on Earth by precisely measuring how long it takes a radio signal to bounce from your phone back to space

    I  regularly read stories in the media which indicate that the author believes that there is two-way communication between a gps receiver and the satellites.
