Not at all!

The operation of the GPS does not refute SR/GR, but it cannot possibly 
"prove" either of them. Yes, GR computations were used in the design of 
the GPS, and had they not been accurate the system could not have 
achieved its design specifications. But it simply is not possible to 
"prove" any physical theory -- physics is not math.
