27 Sats in the sky.
Since their altitude is about 2 earth radii, they aren’t height enough to cover
a full “half earth” at one time.

The GPS system is pretty much limited to 32 active satellites. There are
currently 29 satellites broadcasting usable navigation data. Plus some WAAS
signals from geosynchronous orbit.

I think there is a 5 bit field for the satellite number in some of the packet
formats. You are unlikely to see more than half of them.
I think they actually have more than 32 satellites up
Thanks Chris and everyone else who responded. I just didn't know what to look
for. The full 36 shouldn't take up all that much memory.

I lucked out on a very squeaky clean FTS 4060 CS standard. Started up right
away and appears to have a strong tube.
My question for those in the know:
I don't appeal to the standard very often.
Should I leave it on all the time, on a UPS, or start it up when I need it?
I'm 76. If I leave it on, wil
Hi
If you are talking about GPS only, *and* a rational altitude *and* a rational
elevation mask …
12 should be a pretty good max number.

Is there a practical limit to the number of GPS sats overhead at any one time?
I ask this because I'd like to start parsing this info from my ublox receiver
and need to setup an array for the values. Memory is not unlimited on my PIC.

So interesting they do circle around the same region. Pretty amazing.
