Wikipedia says first operational satellite navigation system.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_(satellite)

Some/mot of the GPS history talks/articles give credit to it.

They had a portable receiver -- small enough to ship as excess baggage.  The 
wiki page has a neat section on using it to measure ice sheet drift in 
Antarctica.

I think there was timing via GEOS.  I seem to remember discussions of various 
hardware boxes becoming useless when it was turned off but I can't find any of 
the drivers I expect.  Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.
