can anyone source an explicit formula for calculating the elevation angle for a GPS satellite as seen from a receiver. I can't seem to find one. Even a text reference would be great. I couldn't quite find anything posted already that does the same thing.
I'm also looking for something similar for calculating elevation but for Glonass satellites as well.

Is the GNSS receiver providing NMEA data? If so, is the GSV sentence provided? If so, the elevation in degrees is provided in that specific sentence.
