According to this months World Almanac Newsletter:
3,129 is the number of functioning satellites orbiting Earth in January 2008,
as counted by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network.
And we only use 3 to 12 at a time when geocaching out of the 31 GPS
satellites available.
31 GPS satellites available that's less than 1% of the satellites up there.
