GPS is spread spectrum. It's modulated using a pseudo random sequence and then demodulated using the same sequence. All the same theory still applies but it's just a different way of using the spectrum, instead of a fixed band the bandwidth is "spread" across a broader band in a way that allows all these different signals to be multiplexed. Specifically with GPS IIRC the phase of the pseudo random sequence is also conveying timing information because of how it relates to the precise clock on the satellites. Spread spectrum can be a little more resilient to certain kinds of noise, e.g. if you have noise just at one frequency now you've reduced the impact of that noise.
