Several satellites get their readings combined and the GPS averages them to get your position. The longer a GPS station is observed over period of time the higher accuracy for both static real time and hand held units.

Averaging on a GPS refers to the process of combining multiple position readings over a period of time to calculate a more accurate and stable fix. By averaging GPS data points, errors and fluctuations in the signal can be minimized, resulting in a more precise location calculation. This feature is commonly used in situations where accuracy is critical, such as surveying or geocaching.
