Thanks all.

The conclusion seems to be that an ordinary and stationary GPS receiver with a single 
omnidiretional antenna knows very well where satellites are relative to the true North, 
and where the true North is relative to satellites, but doesn't know (more precisely: 
can't indicate, as it lacks another reference) where satellites or the North actually are. 
Eventually this appears quite obvious.
