The explanation is misleading. The satellites don't see you and don't care about you. They are beacons sending a radio signal (the beacons says: i'm satellite X and here is a timestamp). The receiver based on the known position of the satelites and the beacon signals received figures out your position on earth using math!
So the explanation is either: satellites and their position or give the full explanation. Not this regurgitation.
