Hi

Your GPS antenna does not have a clue where signals are coming from. The only
way things get plotted is based on the almanac data. If it sees sat Id 21, it 
looks in
the almanac for id 21. If the almanac says it’s over India, that’s where it 
goes on the
resulting plot. 

Best guess: you are seeing intermod of some sort that your receiver interprets 
as a 
signal from a sat that can’t actually be in view.
