Using a combination of GPS and Galileo is great for getting around unknown cities, especially in Europe. Positional Accuracy. Since 2023, Galileo has had the highest accuracy of all three GNSS with a horizontal accuracy of 20cm and a vertical accuracy of 40cm. That is impressive if you compare Galileo to GPS or GLONASS.
Galileo is Europe’s own global navigation satellite system, providing a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. It is inter-operable with GPS and GLONASS. Galileo receivers compute their position in the Galileo Reference System using satellite technology and based on triangulation principles . The
In general, the positioning performance of BDS-3 was slightly better than those of GPS and Galileo in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is believed that with the continuous development of BDS, its
The new models (eg. 955) have a “All systems” option instead of GPS+Glonass, GPS+Beidou, etc, and cycle between 2 systems depending on the actual conditions during the run. So one moment you might be using GPS+Glonass, then 30 minutes later GPS+Galileo, then Beidou, etc (some people can run REALLY far in one session). 🙂
All valid points. Key thing in a car is power and board-space are “relatively” unlimited. A GPS puck in a car is typically a 1-2″ lump (containing inside it the antenna)… if you compare that to your watch, the GPS antenna module alone for a car GPS would be larger than the entire watch (leaving no room for watchy-things).TO4kXF.
