A GPS signal receiving method in a mobile terminal having a first reception path and a second reception path is provided. Upon request for GPS signal reception while receiving a CDMA signal in the first reception path, the received strength of a GPS signal is measured. If the GPS signal strength is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the GPS signal is received in the first reception path. If the GPS signal strength is less than the predetermined threshold, the GPS signal is received in the second reception path.
