29 The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes f our satellites to deter mine both position and ele vation (y our height abov e sea le v el - also called altitude.) This is called a 3D fix. Remember , the unit must hav e a clear view of the satellites in order to receiv e their signals .
30 FINDING Y OUR POSITION A uto Sear ch T o lock onto the satellites , the GPS receiv er needs to know it’ s current position, UTC time , and date . (Ele v ation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, b ut it’ s rarely required to determine a position.
