Described herein are systems and methods that are capable of determining receiver position and system time under weak signal conditions. When the receiver is unable to accurately determine the satellite signal travel time, e.g., due to weak signal reception or some other condition, the receiver can still estimate the pseudo-range for the satellite based on an initial receiver position and system time. In this case, the system and methods described herein provide the necessary initial receiver position and system time with enough accuracy to estimate the pseudo-range, even under weak signal conditions. The receiver can then use the estimated pseudo-range to determine a more accurate receiver position.
