GPS turns timed satellite signals into a position estimate

Signal travel times constrain the receiver’s distance from several satellites.

Reddit
Output
An estimated position, time and often velocity
Input
Timestamped radio signals from multiple GPS satellites
Relationship

What connects the input and output?

The receiver compares transmission and arrival times, accounts for clock error, and solves intersecting distance constraints using satellite orbit data.
