I'll oversimply a bit by repeating Adm. Grace Hoppers famous giveaway.
When asked, she handed out 9 inch long peieces of wire, and said: that
is a nanaosecond.

3m is about 118.11 inches is about 13 ns.  So worst case, skipping the
3D math, yoy get about +/13 ns.

Which is small compared to the published GPS time resolution (IS_GPS_200H,
page 54) of 90 ns.
