GMS with GPS on planets with no GPS

I'd suggest that one needs global space superiority to put in a GPS
satellite constellation around a new planet. Probably a week or two, if
one
has the necessary satellites, in my opinion.

Other wise, one could do it with local/overhead space superiority, by
emiting GPS signals from orbiting space transports. Perhaps military
transports would have GPS transmitters on board? Almost certainly
encrypted
transmissions.

I'd think that a GPS satellite would be relatively small, perhaps
equivalent
to a size one vehicle for DS2, and needing equivalent room in a
transport.
