1. A receiver (R) for use in a user mobile terminal (U) in a satellite positioning system having a constellation of satellites (S), said receiver (R) adapted for acquiring data from a satellite related to the position of the mobile terminal (U), characterized in that the receiver is provided with means for computing a speed of the mobile terminal based on information obtained from acquiring at least two satellites, wherein the means for computing a speed of the mobile terminal comprise a MEMS device (M), adapted for detecting an absolute value ({circumflex over (V)}u) of a speed of the mobile terminal (U) and for providing said value to the receiver (R);

  • and in that the receiver is provided with means for computing, by or for the receiver (R), a corresponding value for vector components (Vux, Vuy, Vuz) of the speed of the mobile terminal.
