From what I understand of your question, its seems to me like your asking what GPS is.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, it connects to up to 12 satelites that are located in strategic locations above the earth. It transmits signals, and measures how long it takes the signal to bounce back.
From this, your Exact (within 5 meters) coordinates are given to you.
Your exact coordinates, provided you have some sort of mapping software or a regular map, will give you your exact location, city, street, etc, and thus it can guide you to whatever address you would like, give you directions, etc.
Hope that helps
