GPS and Great Circle

I am a lurker in this group and actually know only a smidge celestial
navigation. I hope my question is not out of place here. I am curious
whether my GPS follows the great circle route or Mercator rumb line when
plotting long distance courses?
Thanks for patience with the dummy,
Joe...
