Abstract
The dependence of the "visibility" of GPS satellites on the latitude of the measurement site is analysed in this paper. The formulas for calculating the limiting angles of the satellite visibility have been derived and the results compared with those obtained according to the programme The Multi-Site Mission Planning. A special accent has been given to Croatian latitudes in order to enable an easier selection of the points for GPS observations.
