    Either he's wrong, or you've misunderstood him. Adding to that, a GPS is (from our point of view) a reciever, that gets it location from satellite signals. For anyone to fing a GPS reciever, it has to be hooked up to a sender too...

    Differential GPS is both transmitter system and (seperate) receiver .. but that is a different subject ..

    next thing you know we will be talking about inverted GPS systems ..

    Ahh... that makes the difference.

    However, what I'm saying is for the handheld GPS units. They cannot work out a position with only one satellite.

    I think a lot of people get GPS confused with GPRS, which most modern cell phones have.
