Actually, for a single location fix, you need four. With 3 sources you can 
still have 2 spots on the surface of the Earth that can match up (some GPS 
receivers being smart and discarding the 2nd solution based on likelihood is 
a different story).

Position is a different beast in comparison to velocity and acceleration, here 
the term accurate and precise start differing quite a bit - you can have a  
precise reading (let's say 1 cm) and, as strange as it may seam, that does 
NOT mean that your location is +-1cm from what you read on the display (you 
can try this with several GPS-es in one place - they will have differeces 
much higher than their precision).
