This is the math behind GPS.
In the Excel worksheet, enter the coordinates of three satellites and the
three distances to them. These distances are obtained from the time stamps
on the signal from each of the three satellites. The program then
calculates the coordinates of the receiver.

How are the satellites synchronised?

similar to atomic watches, but corrected for relativity.[/quote:d008914890] |
