There are exactly 24 operational GPS satellites around earth to determine one's location, but the Air Force usually tries to maintain 6 working but idle spares, for a total of 30 satellites.
Your receiver only needs signal from 4 to compute your location.
Russia has its own system (Glonass) and the EU maintains another. This probably gives a total of almost 100 satellites serving this purpose.
