29 The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and ele vation (y our height abov e sea lev el - also called altitude.) This is called a 3D fix. Remember , the unit must have a clear vie w of the satellites in order to receive their signals . Unli[...]

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.
