Lee - I suspect that's more down to the GPS receiver than the actual GPS system itself.
HOTPE - not an expert on GPS, certainly not the decisions that were made about orbits, but having several satellites orbiting the earth in such a way that several are always available to any location helps with redundancy - i.e., if a few satellites fail there will always be others available in a short period of time.
