Neeka305,

A GPS operates by identifying a location using the longitude and latitude readings calculated from GPS satellites. Here is a good tutorial in how GPS operates.

trimble.com

Once an individual is able to triangulate your home's physical location, they simply enter your street name and number to the reading on their GPS to 'map' the two together with no need for any physical GPS tag.

As for why the census taker needs to do this.... That is beyond me. As far as I am concerned it is totally unnecessary as my house will not move any time in the near future. It sounds like more government B.S.

Cheers,

Steve
