Does a GPS actually recieve a signal telling the unit where it is? I thought it worked kinda like a VOR and triangulated its self off of radians from a whole mess of satellites.

Grey area I know, but....


It receives data and uses it, that alone makes it pretty clear to me. You just have to ask yourself does the device work without the "data" it receives?

The rules also call the GPS out as something that 'could be' allowed on distance races if it was so stated in the NOR. Again, this one isn't grey.
