I have a question on the GPS positioning algorithm. In all books I've read for 3D positioning we need four satellites, and I don't understand why.
We need to calculate three variables: x, y, z. We know when satellite send the signal to earth and when we receive it we can measure the time the signal travel to earth by checking the shift in PRN generator. For what purpose do we need four satellite?
