The code tracking loop is used to make pseudorange measurements between the GPS satellites and the GPS receiver.  The receiver’s code tracking loop generates a replica of the C/A-code of the targeted satellite.  The estimated doppler is removed by the phase rotation circuit prior to the correlator.

In order to align the received signal with the internally generated replica, the internally generated code is systematically slewed past the received signal. Typically the output of the correlator is integrated over 1 to 10 ms. If correlation is not detected the phase of the internally generated code is advanced by one chip.  If correlation is not detected after the whole code has been searched the doppler is adjusted and the process repeated until correlation is achieved. Code synchronization is initially maintained by also correlating the received signal with half chip early and late codes. A simple feedback system keeps the prompt (“on time”) code correctly positioned.

To extract the carrier which is still modulated by the navigation message,  the prompt code is subtracted from the incoming signal.  The delay that the receiver must add to the replica code to achieve synchronization (correlation), multiplied by the speed of light, is the pseudorange measurement.  Once the carrier is reconstructed, the center frequency of the replica code is adjusted using Doppler measurements from the carrier tracking loop to achieve a precise frequency lock to the incoming signal, thereby allowing more precise pseudorange measurements. The bandwidth of the code tracking loop is typically 0.1 Hz, which implies that independent measurements are available at approximately 10 s intervals.

GPS needs driver and you can search a driver download on the internet. It might based on windows drivers and you should know about this. Since GPS is mobile thing, you may not need computer drivers but you need mobile GPS for your gadget.
