Not in all the cases. In my particular house GPS (and all the others, Galileo, Glonass, etc) doesn't work. It may find a sattelite or two but never gets a fix, even when I stay close to a window.

Not really, no. Modern chipsets are way better than previously, but it's still far from universally reliable, and can't be.
