setting Explanation: GPS satellites complete an orbit in approximately 12 hours, which means that they pass over any point on the earth about twice a day. The satellites rise (and set) about four minutes earlier each day. - http://www.montana.edu/gps/understd.html ------------ Faster satellite position updates permit the GPS Controller to show whether the satellite is rising or setting - http://www.leica-geosystems.com/en/News-News-Archive_57049.h... ----------- -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-10-24 10:10:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Rise The satellites rises above the horizon of the observer (cf.
