How Does GPS Work?
Posted 14/07/2009I think everyone has a vague idea of Sat Nav working by picking up signals from satellites "Out There" somewhere. However, I got asked the question, "Why does a Sat Nav need to see 4 satellites to get a fix?". So I desided to find out. The first surprise was just how many satellites are involved.
