Today's technological developments make it possible to use machines to perform specific tasks instead of humans. However, the challenge for such autonomous devices is to precisely move and navigate in constantly changing external environments. In this paper, the influence of varying weather conditions (air temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, type of satellite systems used/satellites visible, and solar activity) on the accuracy of position determination was analyzed. To reach the receiver, a satellite signal must travel a great distance and pass through all layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the variability of which causes errors and delays. Moreover, the weather conditions for receiving data from satellites are not always favorable. In order to investigate the impact of delays and errors on position determination, the measurements of the satellite signal were conducted, the motion trajectories were determined, and the standard deviations of these trajectories were compared. The results obtained show that it is possible to achieve high precision in determining the position, but varying conditions, such as solar flares or satellites' visibility, meant that not all measurements are able to achieve the required accuracy. The use of the absolute method of satellite signal measurements contributed to this to a large extent. To increase the accuracy of positioning by GNSS systems, it is first of all proposed to use a dual-frequency receiver that eliminates ionospheric refractions.
