Can't get a straight answer on GPS question



Some publications state that your GPS receiver needs a minimum of 3 satellites to be received and 4 satellites at any given time in a (geometrical) plane.

However, I've read some interview gouges that state you need a minimum of 4 satellites and 5 in a (geometrical) plane.

Which one is correct? Cathay interview, Emirates interview, etc.

Thanks.
