A hydraulic excavator includes a receiver configured to calculate a position and an azimuth angle of an upper swing structure on the basis of satellite signals received by two GNSS antennae and a controller configured to calculate a distal end position of a bucket on the basis of the position and the azimuth angle of the upper swing structure calculated by the receiver. The controller sets, on the basis of installation positions of the two GNSS antennae, a movable range of a front work device and an inclination angle and an azimuth angle of the upper swing structure, a range within which the front work device possibly becomes an obstacle to reception of satellite signals by each of the two GNSS antennae as a mask range. The receiver is configured to calculate the position and the azimuth angle of the upper swing structure on the basis of the satellite signals transmitted from the remaining satellites other than the satellites positioned in the mask range.
A work machine that includes a track structure, an upper swing structure swingably attached on the track structure, a work device attached to the upper swing structure, two GNSS antennae installed on the upper swing structure, a receiver configured to calculate a position and an azimuth angle of the upper swing structure on a basis of satellite signals transmitted from a plurality of satellites and received by the two GNSS antennae, and a controller configured to calculate a position of a monitor point on a basis of the position and the azimuth angle of the upper swing structure calculated by the receiver, wherein
