You can see only some of the total number of GPs satellites, in the best cases (open space, not cities), you can have a maximum of 9 satellites alltogheter in the visible sky. The others are below the horizon.

You need 5 satellites to an accurate GPS navigation, so 12 channels have enough free channels to connect to a new visible satellite while another one is disappearing from sky.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
