1. A method in a satellite positioning system receiver having stored almanac data, the method comprising:
- determining information for a satellite using ephemeris data;
determining information for the same satellite using the stored almanac data;
determining an error between the satellite information determined from the ephemeris data and the satellite information determined from the stored almanac data;
updating the stored almanac data based upon the error.

Abstract
A satellite positioning system receiver programmed to determine information for a satellite using ephemeris data (710), determine information for the same satellite using almanac data (722), which may have been previously stored on the receiver, to determine an error between the satellite information determined from the ephemeris data and the satellite information determined from the stored almanac data (730), and to update the stored almanac data based upon the error (734).

6. A method in a satellite positioning system receiver having stored almanac data, the method comprising:
-
determining, at corresponding time periods, location and velocity information for a satellite based on a plurality of issues of ephemeris data for the satellite;
determining location and velocity information for the satellite based on the stored almanac data for the satellite at the same time periods for which the location and velocity information based on the plurality of issues of ephemeris data was determined;
for each time period, determining error between the location and velocity information for the satellite based on the ephemeris data and the location and velocity information for the satellite based on the stored almanac data;
updating the stored almanac data based upon the error.
