Abstract :
It has been previously shown that the two external tangencies solutions for the problem of Apollonius provide closed form solutions to the Global Positioning System (GPS) pseudorange equations. This paper explores and demonstrates the physical significance of the complete 16 solutions of the problem of Apollonius to the GPS problem when reflected signals are considered
