i; why with 1 satellite my posittion got sent back to the zero

I thought it took at least 3 satellites to get a fix at all. Andy

Dear GPS Listserv,
Earlier today, I was testing out a manual route at my high schoolneeded,
campus. I was able to get a fix for most of the areas that I
but I ran into a problem, when I marked my last waypoint, Icouldn't get
a fixed, then I waited, I got a fix, but a poor fix with 1satellite.
I went ahead and marked it, since it was a test. After Ifinished
marking the waypoints, I found that when I arrived at my finalwaypoint,
which was the location I only received 1 satellite, it said"arrived
near destination," but when I check the distance from my currentdestination 12
position to the destination, with the letter d, it said
o'clock 7000 miles. I am not sure if that has something to dowith me
not receiving a fix, then receiving a terrible fix, then me still continuing to mark the waypoint.
I am sure it has nothing to do with the way I marked the points,as I
have done this before successfully.
I hope that someone out there is able to answer to why I receivedan
inaccuracy ready of over 7000 miles, if you are wanting toexamine my
manual route, please feel free to notify me, I will be delightedto
share the manual route--especially if it will bring us one stepcloser
to exactly what happened. Kevin
