The software helps the system to interprets the signal and uses that data to form conclusions regarding the current location based on the time it took to receive the signal from the satellite, and the exact location of the satellite that sent the data. A conclusion can be drawn by the GPS or auto navigation system, by combining that information, as to the exact position of the GPS device.
