Abstract
Apparatus for calculating the location of a receiver by means of a location algorithm that generates a receiver location in dependence on signalling events received by that receiver from a set of satellites, the apparatus being arranged to select, from a constellation of satellites visible to the receiver, the set of satellites to use in the location algorithm in dependence on an effect that it is estimated using that set of satellites will have on the capability of the location algorithm to generate an accurate location for the receiver.
