I have been testing position accuracy lately on a self contained u-blox
8 with built-in antenna supposedly GLONASS capable. I write a Python
script to selectively enable GLONASS and GALILEO over GPS.
All figures below are rough averages.
Typically, with one particular GPS, in one particular spot, it gives a
CEP(50) of 10 feet.
Enable GLONASS and that worsens to 24 feet. After about a minute the
u-blox rejects all the GLONASS, that have good SNR, and the CEP(50)
drops back to normal.
Enable GALILEO and CEP(50) improves to 6 feet. And stays that way.
So be sure to enable GALILEO in your GPS and disable GLONASS.
Also note: the passband of GALILEO is technically the same as GPS, but
has more energy at the edges. Some GPS antennas cut it a little close
and hurt GALILEO performance.
