The Artful Dodger Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 there are now 27 GPS satellites deployed, and our GPS units can only pick up 12? http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/03/31/gps.satellite.reut/index.html Quote
+Lil Devil Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Because of orbits and line-of-sight, I typically only have 6 to 10 satellites overhead. The rest are over the horizon and unusable to me. So 2 to 6 channels in my GPSr are not used. I want some of my money back. Lil Devil Quote
