  20. Re:Altitude? on Inside FAA's GPS-Based Air Traffic Control · · Score: 2, Informative

    Technically, you'll need four or more satellites in view to calculate altitude. In general, you'll need (n+1) points of reference (satellites) to triangulate a point in an n-dimension space. (Assuming you want the position calculated in all n dimensions).

    In practice, three satellites are adequate for ground and altitude calculation (since most other spatial possibilities can be ruled out as being 'ridiculous').
