Any Flat Earthers have GPS systems?  Ever considered how they work if so?

This has been asked before.  They just make up explanations.

How would the act of triangulating something's location using satellites as reference points not work in the FE theory? Just an honest question.

Satellites are impossible in the FET.  They claim its done with balloons/stratellites, planes, and ground based towers.

Because with a flat earth there is no orbit, and therefore no satellites.  they make up crap like the signals coming from big masts that are somehow kept secret.  

of course this means that every manufacturer of GPS systems must be in on it, being a flat earther must suck, cos it's like everyone is in on it except you.  lol.

Triangulation works just as well in the FE model as it does in RET, but that's not the problem with the GPS. GPS devices rely on the transmitters being about 22,000 kilometres above our heads and following one of a number of different orbital paths, and rely you to be standing on a large sphere in order to place you in the correct position and not suggest you are a couple of thousand kilometres above or below ground level (unless you happen to be in such a place, of course).
