There is a difference between civilian and government GPS. Mostly the civilian version has a built in limitation to the accuracy.

It's 50ft as of 1994, and requires 3 satellites to get a fix.

Alas I digress. :^) Two satellites and me will do it.

Its not as much of a factor today. The bigger issue is the mapping database used by the GPS device.
