Uhhh nope, that's incorrect.

The way triangulation works is by essentially measuring distance.

So 1 satellite distance puts you anywhere in a radius (circle) of that satellite.

2 Satellites puts you at 1 of 2 locations where those radiuses intersect.

3 satellites gives you a single location.

That's why it's called triangulation. Tri = 3
