And NASA is part of the conspiracy its easy to fake images and video to show the earth is round with a little portion of the 16 billion they get a year. the rest is.. Profit!

It's no slur if it's fact.

GPS does work everywhere. GPS needs 4 satellites all the time. The fourth one gives elevation. Like I said.My cell phone doesnt work everywere but my bros GPS does.
It needs 4 signals all the time. You clearly said it only needed 3. They use way more then 4 to check themselves to get the accuracy even better.
Im talking about handheld GPS units, I suppose a car unit only needs 3 if you dont care about elevation. The ones people take on top of mountains. Stop kidding yourself. GPS works everywhere. Just like satellite phones. They use satellites, not towers.

Stop kidding yourself. GPS works everywhere. Just like satellite phones. They use satellites, not towers. Many hand held units don't process altitude directly. They store a map of the earth and when a position is determined, the altitude is derived from the map.
Negative. I can climb a ladder and the elevation will change. How does a map show where I put a ladder? Keep rying to prove your false theory.
Nope, my bros GPS will pick up changes in feet. I can hold the unit by the ground, then by my head and it picks up a change. hen I could climb a 200 foot crane and it would pick up all 200 feet.

That GPS requires satellites.
Answer the qestion as to how GPS works anywere in the world using towers? You cant, thats why you keep ignoring it. A floating ballon with a clock? What powers it?
Quote from: sokarul on February 27, 2007, 11:46:34 AMThat GPS requires satellites. Really? Where does the receiver use the fact that the transmitter is in orbit to determine it's position?Quote Answer the qestion as to how GPS works anywere in the world using towers? You cant, thats why you keep ignoring it. A floating ballon with a clock? What powers it? As long as the signal is transmitted from a known position, it doesn't matter what is doing the transmitting.The sun powers it.
Read the FAQ and lurk more.
Triangulation doesn't require satellites. GPS as we know and use it does. This is the basic flaw in the self-reassuring statement "GPS doesn't require satellites". What you should really say is what I said in the first sentence of this post. Travelling across the Atlantic ocean doesn't require a boat or an aeroplane. It doesn't mean that everybody swims across it.
In FE Literature there are three celestial bodies that inhabit the sky. The Sun. The Moon. And the Shadow Object.
You have performed an illegal operation. Tom Bishop will now shut down, you will lose all unsaved arguments.
For GPS to be GLOBAL it has to use satellites.
Why do GPS units work where cell phones don’t? Why does satellite TV go out in bad whether but cell phones still work? Why does satellite radio work everywhere in the United States? Answer them all.

Why?
Cell signals are not provided by the same transmitter.
No, but the signals could have come from anywhere. Other aircraft, stratellites, ground stations, vehicles, etc...
