My view is the published design information.  That is clear about how GPS works and not disputed by anyone.

Hardly.

GPS uses a known distance from the satellite, the ionisphere would not allow this as it is a variable height.

This does not conflict with atmolayer location calculation. The more towers you are using concurrently, the more accurate a location prediction will be. If anything, this is a point for a flat Earth. When is the last time a GPS let you calculate position using only one satellite? I'll give you a heads-up... it won't.

Which towers?  Where are they?  Who made them?  When were they deployed?  Is there any documentation for them whatsoever?

Thork needs to explain how it would work via skywaves, in detail.

Thork doesn't need to do anything.  Why do you feel like you are entitled?  You feel like everyone just owes you something.

We know GPS uses satellites and you need a minimum of 4 to calculate a pisition and altitude.

How many towers would an atmolayer system need to cover the entire earth? Would the atmolayer reflect 1.5GHz signals and how do you ensure a precise known transit time?  It would not work.

How many towers are needed for my phone to tell me where I am?

Do you not know?  Basic maths.

The location service you have does not work in every country.  Or in the centre of oceans as discussed before.

3 for location. 4 for altitude.

What?  Can you explain how this can only be done with satellites?

I did not miss any context.
I didn't say you missed it, merely that you skipped it. I accused you of malice, not stupidity.

It would not work.
Substantiate this claim.

Do you not know?  Basic maths.
Show your working and elaborate on the answer (well, once you presented it).

The US wanted an accurate worldwide navigation system, only way to do it.

How about you come up with a proposal using the ionosphere and show how it would work. With enough design details for review.

I would love to have an accurate positioning system  as well.  I see that you are falling on your face now.

Why are you so afraid of backing up your claims? C'mon, pick one and write about it in more than one sentence. You can do it, inquisitive. I believe in you. You can finally prove that you're not a complete waste of time to all of us!

What do you mean?  GPS is used by millions of people and systems across the world.

I am not claiming that an ionosphere based system would work, it is for those that do to explain how with more than one picture.

Yes, good thing I called you out on it. Anyway, please stop derailing this thread. Feel free to continue trying to trip me up via PM if you so desire.

Meanwhile, we know that satellites provide us with communications, and have done for many years.
