How does the GPS calculate the exact distance to my destination on a curvy road? I understand how a straight road works, but not a curvy road. And how is it so exact, like down to 100ft? Does it involve a calculus-like approach where you take incredibly small measurements from a satellite and add them up?

GPS does not give you distances. GPS only gives you position from satellite signals. it’s up to the navigation app/device to calculate distance.
