Thanks all.
The conclusion seems to be that an ordinary and stationary GPS receiver with a single
omnidiretional antenna knows very well where satellites are relative to the true North,
and where the true North is relative to satellites, but doesn't know (more precisely:
can't indicate, as it lacks another reference) where satellites or the North actually are.
Eventually this appears quite obvious.
