| Sep 22, 2016 at 21:15 | comment | added | Willie Wong | @SergeiAkbarov: yes. General relativistic corrections are required for GPS to be accurate. physics.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/… has some basics, but the GR correction is actually larger than the special relativistic one, in terms of the clock rate in the satellite. | |
| Sep 22, 2016 at 21:09 | comment | added | Sergei Akbarov | Is that true? Do they indeed apply General relativity to GPS devices? And similarly about transistors and other things? | |

| Aug 9, 2012 at 20:21 | comment | added | Peter Samuelson | I was about to write the first example as an answer if I didn't see it already written since GPS devices (i.e. smartphones) are so common now. | |
