Japan's 8.9 magnitude earthquake has altered that country's coastline and shifted the entire planet's axis- states this story on the Voice of America Website.
The VOA story says Japan's land mass was shifted "about 2.5 meters (about 8 feet)" and shifted the Earth's axis by "8 centimeters" or about 3 inches.

Just a guess- probably involves satellites.
Yes you are right was done with GPS.
