No, in theory it need not be an omnidirectional antenna. One could use
a very high gain antenna if it were able to track each satellite.  If
you had access to the GPS firmware one could build a phased array
antenna that was electronically steered.  I think it could work but
it's not practical because of the very high cost and large size.

Would it be possible to build a much simpler version that used a line
array phased to null the nearby tower.
