  • wtf? gps reciver in car does not send anything to satelite...

  • In car GPS is a reciever it recieves the signal and through computation triangulates your position.

    This is called telemetry where a radio signal is used to define your position.

    I can't believe you allowed this man to mislead all these people.

  • Nothing is sent to satellites from normal receivers ... pinhead !

  • Wtf, satellite gives you the way to get there?

    Man, GPS don't send to satellite. wtf is he talking about.
