Anyone know what the minimum number of satellites is required to maintain a reliable positioning for a Mavic 2 pro please?

You could try to read through this thread:

minimum amount of locked satellites to fly?

Hey folks, I'm having a tough time finding the minimum amount of locked satellites to safely fly? Perhaps I can't find it because it's a personal choice?? If that's the case, what do most folks go with. My UAV forecast shows 11.9 locked satellites, but says "Not Good To Fly"? Thank you, Bogey

Fly safe.

Thanks Dedal. Great help.

I did see that linked post of 2018 but was wondering if technology had advanced any to make a difference.

The absolute minimum is six.
But you could have six and still not have good GPS.
It's not as simple as just having a minimum number.
For good position data you need:

6 or more sats .. and​

Sats must have a good geometric spread across the sky (not bunched or in a line).​

I never takeoff unless I have at least 10.
