Summary: This thesis proposes a model for navigation through the Global Positioning System (GPS) and for Geolocalización under the general theory of relativity (GRT). The reason for this proposal is that, due to substantial improvements in the stability of standares frequency, the precise steps of pseudodistancias to artificial satellites have to be interpreted within the GRT. In this model also includes the effects of the first order, second order effects relativistic more relevant in today for its practical significance, present and future. In particular, it includes the delay of the spread of satellite signals (effect Shapiro), and for the first time, the effects on the steps and angular distance due to the curvature of space in the vicinity of the Earth, and that these effects soon will be taken into account in Space Geodesy.
