Maximum Number of Satellites?
I'm just looking at the number of satellites my 1490T is using (11) and on the graph it appears that it has the potential to receive and use one more.
I'm just wondering what is the maximum number of satellites in the constellation that could be above the horizon at one time for any given place?

General Motors onboard navigation system
We just purchased a 2011 Buick LaCrosse and love the car. While we've been looking for this vehicle for a while, we were surprised to see that no dealer ever had one that did not include the navigation system. So the one we purchased has that system as well.

I was listening to a NPR Science Friday podcast today and the segment discussed GPS voices.

Map Reading and Land Navigation
