What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How far up in the sky are satellites?
There are currently 32 GPS satellites Orbiting earth at 20,000Kms above sea level There are also 24 GLONASS satellites (The russian version of a GPS satellite) Which many high end GPS receivers will use in conjunction with the standard GPS satellites. These orbit a little lower than GPS at arond 19,000Kms above sea level. There are 4 Galileo Satellites, which are currently un used, but are the start of the European satellite constealltion which is a work in progress. They orbit at 24,000Kms above sea level. On top of all that, there are 10 Chinese navigation satellites called COMPASS orbiting in an orbit above China and Asia. They orbit at around 21,000 Kms above sea level.
How many satellites does Tom Tom GPS use?
Every GPS unit needs a minimum of four (4) satellites to compute a 3-dimensional position, and performs more accurate calculations with more satellites. I think my TomTom is capable of using 12 simultaneous satellites if it can see that many. Yours may be different.
Where does gps receiver get its signal from?
A GPS receiver gets its signal from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites continuously transmit signals that the GPS receiver uses to calculate its position and determine accurate time information. By receiving signals from multiple satellites, the GPS receiver can triangulate its position with high precision.
How many GPS Satellites does the US Deptartment of Defense have?
There are currently 30 healthy GPS satellites in orbit.
How does the nextel gps tracking system acquire its signal?
The Nextel GPS tracking system acquires its signal by searching for satellites that are in the sky in the area and by calculating the user's position based on those satellites.
What is the best way to block gps?
As long as you can see the sky, the GPS satellites can see you. So to 'block' the GPS satellites from "seeing" you, get under something like an overpass or deciduous trees. Flat up against the north or south side of a building helps.
What do gps satellites find?
GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How many satellites are in the GPS array?
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)
How many satellites are in the GPS?
24 active with 6 spares.
How many satellites are used by gps?
32
What are two names of satellites?
GPS IIA-1 NAVSTAR 1 (Both GPS satellites)

How does a cell phone GPS locator work?
A GPS on a cellular phone receives its signal from GPS satellites that are in the sky. When the GPS receives signals from more than one satellite, it can calculate the position and track exactly where the user of the cellular phone is headed.
