The statement suggests that GPS signals received by commercial devices are accurate because they contain minimal errors. 
First, this is misleading because GPS signals inherently carry multiple sources of error that affect accuracy, even for consumer receivers.
Second, ionospheric and tropospheric delays can alter signal travel time, introducing position errors that vary with atmospheric conditions.
Third, satellite orbit (ephemeris) and clock errors, though corrected to some extent, still contribute to residual inaccuracies in the calculated position.
Fourth, multipath effects occur when signals bounce off buildings or other surfaces before reaching the receiver, causing inaccurate range measurements, especially in urban canyons or dense environments.
Fifth, receiver-specific noise and the geometry of visible satellites (PDOP/HDOP) influence how accurately a device can fix a position; poorer geometry leads to larger errors.
Sixth, while augmentation systems like WAAS/EGNOS improve civilian GPS accuracy, they do not eliminate errors entirely, and typical consumer devices still exhibit errors on the order of several meters under normal conditions.
Thus, the claim that GPS signals are accurate due to minimal errors is incorrect, since numerous error sources persist and affect civilian receivers under many circumstances.
