If you use GPS for navigation, you need 4 satellites to get 4 equations that
you can solve for X, Y, Z, and T (or the polar equivalents).
If you know X, Y, and Z, you can get T from only 1 satellite. You can also
do a better job of sorting out the errors if you can hear multiple
satellites. That takes special firmware.
