signals from at least 3 satellites send signals to and receive signals from the gps which are then triangulated to give the exact position of the GPS unit. Most GPS units are receive only. That is they must receive positional and timing information from the GPS satellite constellation. The internal processor them computes your position based upon this data(triangulation). Generally receiving data from three or more satellite's is needed to be produce a good fix (your position) but this is also dependent upon the geometry of the satellites. The best fixes are obtained when you have signals from three or more satellites which are geometrically separated by 45 degrees.

Where are GPS satellite signals processed?
GPS signals are processed in the GPS unit and displayed, and they are also processed via three Global Position Satellites. All four units work together and process GPS signals (some to the satellites from the GPS, and some from the satellites to the GPS) to create an accurate position.
How much does a GPS satellite weigh?
1 dam pound
How do gps satellites monitor faults?
satellite equipped with radar
How accurate is satellite navigation compared to gps?
Satellite Navigation is just as accurate as GPS, having a 1-10 meter buffer zone. Both use a similar system, having satellites in orbit to triangulate a position. Satellite Navigation, better known as GLONASS, is used mostly by the Soviet Union while GPS, is use worldwide and the widest used system.
What is a function of a GPS satellite?
GPS satellites provide location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
How many minimum satellites are required for a Gis device to work?
a GPS device will need at least 3 satellite locks to work.
what does the phrase gps caddie meaN?
A GPS stands for Global Positioning Satellite and is a device which uses satellite location to determine your position. A caddie is a device which is a container or carrier for another item. As such, a GPS caddie is an item which holds a GPS.
How does gps tracking of a car work?
When a GPS system is placed in a vehicle it provides information on the exact location by radio-navigation system by 24 satellites and their ground stations. A microwave signal is transmitted from satellite to the GPS device.
How does a gps trailing tracking device work?
A GPS trailing tracking system is a device that finds the exact location of something (i.e: phone, vehicle, ect.) It works by providing satellite signals which are processed by a receiver. These GPS receivers track the exact location of an object. reference: http://www.eetimes.com/design/communications-design/4210115/How-does-a-GPS-tracking-system-work-/
What does a gps have to do with technoligy?
A Global Positioning System (GPS) device is a technological device using advance space/satellite technologies to pinpoint the position of the device anywhere on the planet to a high degree of accuracy.
What is the three letter abbreviation for the satellite device that TopoFusion software interacts with and uses?
GPS
Will the GPS system on my mobile device work without high-speed service?
Yes it will. The GPS chip in cell phones is a passive chip that sends a signal to a satellite on its own. It works even if your phone has no data service at all. Yes, your GPS system on your mobile device will work without high-speed internet. It may take longer to download directions and may not work as well, but it will still be able to function.
In order for a GPS to work it must be able to at least?
"see" the satellite.
How do you use GPS?
It's super-easy to use GPS navigation. Just plug in your destination into the GPS device. A satellite automatically detects your current location and gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get where you need to be.
