Actually, if we think about this in the framework of the Project working as planned, we can assume GPS in a short period of time. Canon says Morrow has a satellite in orbit. It is not a bit stretch to say they might have a small GPS network up and by using A-GPS, the team doesn't need to have a fix on three satellites if a terrestrial signal is available. Repair and refit some cell towers in operational areas and you have the GPS running pretty well.
I was assuming mil-spec systems be installed. They are pretty robust and a vehicle mounted system would be much faster than a laptop for things like popping up the pod from cover in the pre-dawn and in less than a minute having a series of photo that look like they were taken around noon.
