Why can cell phone signals penetrate buildings, but GPS cannot?

Asked by 2davidc8 (10189points) July 6th, 2017

I know that if you’re deep many floors in the basement, or in a cave, you can’t get cell phone access, either, but in general cell phone signals seem to have greater penetration. You can’t get GPS if you’re just among some tall trees.
