Would you please explain the logic behind that conclusion, Henri? :-)

From the fact that the receiver determines precisely "the actual clock reading"
when the signal was sent, you conclude the 'GR correction' is totally unnecessary,
and the explanation for that conclusion is:

Hahaha! That's not how it works.
The phasing of signals from three or four clocks is compared. The actual times
are only important for the purpose of synching them all with each other.

So you are confirming my suspicion that you didn't understand a single
word of what George and I told you. You _still_ believe that the phase of
the signal from different satellites are compared!
Amazing! Unbelievable!

'time difference', phase difference'...is there a difference in practice?

I can only repeat:
I find it almost unbelievable that it is possible to discuss the GPS
for years, and still be completely ignorant of how it works.

How the hell do you manage to stay _this_ ignorant, Henri?

Plain and simple stupidity?

Why the hell do I waste my time like this?

Plain and simple stupidity?

Paul, simply stupid

GR is totally unnecessary for the operation of the GPS system.

The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.
