GPS antenna orientation

[DemevengDerrick]

Good morning everyone. Am new in the forum. I have a question :

What is the explanation to the fact that gps antennas should be oriented north?

Why do you think that is a fact?, - it isn't

Thanks. Please in which case do we have to do so and why?

You don't have to do so

the GPS (GNSS) satellites fly over all parts of the earth except the North and South poles, so you would only get better signals from the North if you was near the South pole, otherwise there is no advantage
