"GPS" - or Global Positioning System is NOT a brand.......God.......
To quote Garmin - one of many GPS receiver manufacturers:
"The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS"
They are positional ALL over the world - and are NOT restricted to users in the USA! Bill Clinton, last year, instructed the military to kill the "selective availability" feature of the GPS system - meaning that instead of being accurate to within 100m, they are now accurate from 5-10m to any civilian user.
Please get your facts straight and stop thinking that the USA has exclusive use of this technology. The ONLY other dedicated system of this sort was put up by the old Soviet Union, but wasn't economically viable for them.
