Hi Sandra, Galileo is far from complete at this point. According to an article I read on Tech Radar the 30 satellites which comprise Galileo (27 + 3 spares) won't be in place until 2019. This of course doesn't mean that the system is not functioning to some degree before this. As for receivers I would probably not rush out and buy one since I am quite sure the iPhone in one of its future iterations will support Galileo just as it now supports not only GPS but also the GLONASS system. The latter is a russion system of satellites which offers world wide coverage just as GPS does and unlike Galileo which will only cover Europe.
For those who are interested, here is the link o the Tech Radar article: http://www.techradar.com/news/car-tech/satnav/galileo-how-europe-s-answer-to -gps-will-revolutionise-your-phone-1198327 Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sandratomkins Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 4:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: GNSS Bluetooth receivers with my iPhone? Hello there, Is anyone interested in GPS/LBS accuracy? Here in Europe we have a new system which has just come online called Galileo. The receivers that one uses with Galileo are called G and SS receivers. I believe there are various models of these already on the market. Has anyone tried one yet? Does anyone know much about all of this? Apparently, accuracy is vastly greater than with the traditional GPS solutions. So, I am very interested to find out more. Hope to hear from someone in this regard, Sandy Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
