Question

Accepted Answer

The number of satellites a GPS receiver wants depends on its accuracy requirements and the availability of satellite signals.

The minimum number of satellites required for a GPS receiver to function is 4.
Most GPS receivers aim to acquire signals from at least 8 to 12 satellites for better accuracy.
The more satellites a GPS receiver can track, the more accurate its positioning and timing information becomes.
GPS receivers with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) capabilities may require signals from a network of base stations in addition to satellites.
The number of satellites a GPS receiver can track simultaneously depends on its design and technology.
Some GPS receivers can track signals from over 30 satellites, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou systems.
