GPS is available for geodetic control surveying, for providing very precise position and velocity fixes at discrete points in time, and for GIS applications such as in-vehicle navigation systems.
the true compass direction are kept intact (lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles), but areas are distorted (for example, polar areas look much larger than they really are). Mercator projections are useful for nautical navigation.
What makes it work at all is the "application domain" knowledge of the system designers and operators who actually apply this tool. To use GIS effectively in a navigation application requires specialized knowledge of navigation principles, ...
