GPS

Now why would I say it's less effective?
Have a word will you.

I have no idea why you might, but I still also have no idea what you're trying to get at witht he point that during ww2 we had radios.

Stratellites could easily take the place of satellites. And could be responsible for GPS signals in the oceans.

GPS is fake. Your GPS receiver is programmed at the factory. It is just running through a sequence. I've seen monkeys do the same thing.

Is this intended to be a serious response?  I'm having a bit of difficulty here sorting the genuine comments from the frivolous LOL.

Are you disputing the fact that monkeys can be trained to do the same thing? So you don't believe in evolution?

I'm not sure we have enough time before the sun burns out to train and evolve monkeys to fly around sending telepathic directions to other monkeys that sit on your dashboard.

So no explanation on how GPS works?

A coded signal is sent out by transmitters and received by your GPS receiver.  The receiver then calculates your position based on an algorithm.

Where are the transmitters? My GPS shows them moving across the sky.

So where are the transmitters, given that it works in the air, on land, and over sea?

Your GPS shows an animation of something on screen, it does not show anything moving across the sky.
An old space invader game shows lots of alien ships coming down, it doesn't mean they are in the sky.
Yeah it sounds silly but that's basically what you are implying.

I feel like the likely answer to where the signals come from would be ground based transmitters.  Others might claim otherwise, but this is the most likely to me.

Have a look at this video, maybe this might...and I say MIGHT wake you up a little bit. I said a LITTLE bit...MAYBE.

Again, where are the GPS transmitters?

The music made me sleepy.

So it actually has the opposite of the desired effect.

Do you know how a cell phone works?

Yes.  GPS works where there are no masts.  Eg in the middle of oceans.

Please tell us some masts with GPS transmitters.

I love how the ability to determine the exact direction a satellite signal is coming from is just being ignored. It's really easy to do, so easy that a child could do it, and there's just no way the signal direction could be replicated by a ground-based source.

Directional antennas..... Triangulation..... Doppler shift in broadcast signals .....

A kid can't make a roast dinner or a quad core processor for my computer. does that mean its not real? Some things in life require more than a 2 year olds level of understanding. All the things I posted thier can independently verify the existence of satilites let alone once they are combined.

Are you deliberately spelling like a two year old on purpose or are you getting frustrated or are you drunk?
