The only signals sent in GPS are sent by satellite. There is no ability to send signals FROM receivers in stadard GPS. Watch out for RFID or radio broadcasts then, not GPS.

That's another unneeded, intrusive piece of garbage." If your talking about "Global Positioning System", then what's wrong with it? The satellites are the ones sending the signals containing the position and time the signals are sent. The receiver receives a number of signals simultaneously and computes it's own position with this data. No signal is ever sent anywhere by the basic GPS receiver. About the only problem with GPS is when you don't receive 3 or 4 signals. “And don’t get me started on GPS! LOL! That’s another unneeded, intrusive piece of garbage.”
