There is no charge for the use of GPS. GPS consists of a galaxy of satellites in geostationary orbit (many thanks to the U.S. Army), the signals that are recorded by the GPS receiver. The software on your device calculates its position based on satellites that the unit receives signals and information signals.

The short answer is that it has an electronic gizzmo, is / are located at least 3 satellites. The distance between them is calculated and can say where.

No cost for a regular GPS unit. There are luxury cars that can be marketed to. The main thing is that you on the original cost is that put some of them in May, the new cards, which would be additional.

The long answer (these guys are great):

Yes, there is a cost, since it is used to a very expensive construction of.GPS chip in the phone and satellites to locate your phone.

Yes, work. Just make sure you read the satellites in your area. I am in Germany, not all the U.S. GPS system work here.

No, there are no monthly fees.
