A past form built on an initialism: the noun for the satellite system was turned into a verb, and the regular -ed ending attaches straight to the capitals with no apostrophe. The verb is transitive, so it needs an object (they GPSed the van). One spelling serves the simple past and, after have or be, the perfect and the passive.
