The GPS receiver is only a receiver,
without any transmitting capability.
The satellites does not contain any databases
about the locations or anything.
They contain highly precise atomic clocks
which generates some code which it keeps
transmitting to the earth. The GPS receiver
gets that code from multiple satellites which is
slightly time-shifted due to difference in the
distances of satellites. Using this difference
the receiver calculates the longitude and latitude.
