What is that supposed to prove? The use of wave count rather than light 
speed is clearly a far better way to operate the GPS system.

No, Ralph, your fantasy world without relativity is not "the real world".
The real world has a GPS system that depends on general relativity to
work at all.

Ralph, I know that you, as a non-scientist, don't understand error bars
and error analysis at all, but real scientists analyze all potential 
sources of error and come up with an overall error analysis. That's what 
you saw there. Maybe you should learn about error bars/analysis when you
try to learn something about physics.

it uses the UHF band, and agree that it is not an optical system.
but it doesn't count wavelengths.

What carrier frequencies are there. You may mostly count ticks, not cm. 
Even those after proper BPF, amplifier and a very FAST counter/comparator. 
That's how we do Physics, my dear friend, Dr. HGW. In my opinion, hardly 
achievable, since the GPS signal is VERY WEAK compared to all the other EM 
NOISE surrounding it. 

You, and your dear friend, Dr. Silvia Elses, don't know much Physics, I'm 
surprised to experience. But good point to arise, since there are alot of 
morons around here not knowing ehat they are talking about. Thanks.

When I said it counts wavelengths, I didn't mean it 'actually counts 
them'. There are better ways, which I outlined before. It is actually 
quite easy to do, the only real problem being that the receiving clock 
discrepancy must be known very accurately. There are ways to do that, 
one of which is to use a ground base.

not to worry, there are already tiny GPS units in your cellphone, that

This is where the expression: "Better to walk the rope rather than walk

I'm sure the operators have woken up to the fact that the signals take a 
little longer when the satellites are rising than when they are falling. 
The signals take ~85 MILLI-seconds to reach ground level and never 
arrive simultaneously...so there is plenty of opportunity to include 
fudge factors that might make Einstein look good.

Besides, I have been informed by a person who actually knows something 
about GPS that triangulation is only a preliminary guide and that the 
actual positioning process uses a complicated method involving phase 
relationships.

I see you have a reading comprehension problem.  The fact that the receivers are using "the OBSERVATION that the vacuum speed of light is isotropically c" does not mean that they are measuring it.  In fact it would be absurd to measure something that is known to be a constant.
