Please try to refrain from embarrassing yourself further.
Radar and GPS work on COMPLETELY different principals and their applications have little in common. GPS is a passive system which requires multiple satellite signals received,decoded and displayed locally at the point of reception. RADAR is a non-co-operative system that relies upon the reception of the reflection of a transmitted signal.

Your link to a defunct “over the horizon” NORAD type installation just confirms your lack of appreciation of the differences...

BTW....No airborne RADAR system has EVER been able to read the license plate of a car. That would be a relatively low level OPTICAL system. Again ...NOTHING to due with RADAR or GPS. ...study up a bit

So those earth pictures on google are fake, and no one said that they were radar, and we have no installations like the last one closed. It is old tech, my brother served on one of the off shore tower years and years ago. They no longer exist. And gps can replace radar in the civilian usage. It just takes a program, but then the military does not have any gps weapons and drones do they. Things change better systems are developed.

The next time you drive down the road, look at the front of a big trucks trailer, at the front close to the top, that little gray box is a gps tracking system, another smaller one is hide somewhere. But then why would a company want to know where that trailer was twenty four seven. Maybe they are tracking it with 1950 radar. Good thing we only have a few hundred trailers in this country.
