To find exact position on Earth you need to know the exact position of the
satellite, not just it's time.
Satellites are perturbed in their orbit (mostly by the moon, which also
perturbs sea level) but their position is regularly updated from ground
stations so that they can tell you where they are.
No engineer is going to sit at a desk in front of a monitor and ask
where each satellite is or what its time is, the upload is fully
automated.
Their time is also uploaded, they do not correct themselves. The system
works, even though their clocks are damaged, and would still work if they
were not damaged.

The correction of the damage, 38 usec per day,
corresponds to 0.4909981824 inches per day, far less than the stated
accuracy of the system. Uncorrected, you'll be 15 feet out of position
in a year.

Hilarious, how stupid the engineers who designed the GPS were, isn't it? :-)
They didn't understand that the clocks could run wrong by
3 ms a day, and the precision of the GPS would still be better than 1 m!
So why did they put expensive atomic clocks in the satellites when
oven controlled crystal clocks could do the job?
Probably because they didn't consult the electrical engineer Androcles!

The system is deliberately damaged so that a missile cannot
be guided by it into the Pentagon, or even the World Trade Centre, which
is why a civil airliner with a kamikaze pilot was used instead.
Now... Get your head out of your arse and get fucking REAL.

But this 'damage' is fixed now, so a missile can be guided into the Pentagon.
You are not very updated, are you? :-)
