Before knowing how does the GPS work let us know what the GPS stands for.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System.

GPS was originally developed for military use.It has three components:satellites orbiting earth,master control stations around the world,and receiver installed in locations ranging from naval destroyers to private golf carts.
       In the U.S. GPS system 24 satellite orbit the earth every 12 hours,following six different orbits.Three additional satellites orbits as backup.The satellites contains atomic clocks that sends precise times with each signal.The control station monitors the satellites,using remote controlled-on board thrusters to manage their positions.

       When a GPS user on land or sea calls for location information,signals pass from orbiting satellites to that user's receiver.The length of time taken by the transmissions--usually a fraction of second--helps determine distance to a point on an imaginary sphere,and the user's latitude and longitude can be calculated by using the mathematics of triangulations.Three satellites would suffice,but more provide redundancy and compensate for inaccuracies.
       GPS signals are broadcast on two different frequencies,one for military use and another for civilians use.Civilian augmentation can provide precise location to within 0.4 of an inch
