A system to select a type of satellite from a plurality of types of satellites in a multi-constellation of satellites is provided. The system includes at least a first receiver configured to input signals from a first type of satellite and a second receiver configured to input signals from a second type of satellite and a processor. The processor: executes a multi-constellation-selection software module to associate a current position with a mapping feature and select at least one selected type of satellite from the plurality of types of satellites based on the associated mapping feature; executes a compute-position/velocity/time (PVT) software module to compute a current position/velocity/time based on at least one selected input signal input at a receiver associated with the at least one selected type of satellite; and feeds the computed current position/velocity/time to the multi-constellation-selection software module based on the execution of the compute-PVT software module.
