<DIV>Looks like I have been thoroughly placed on the wrong foot by mobiwia. They

<DIV>Hugo,
<DIV>That app currently shows me it has a fix(is using) about 11 of 26 "visible"
satellites,including ones beginning r (as you describe). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Using the "GPS Satellites Viewer" app by applicality there also 26
visible, but that is from </DIV>
<DIV>12 GPS (i.e. USA), 10 GLONASS, 4 BEIDOU, but none from QZSS or Galileo.

<DIV>Hi (special at @Simon),</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have used the latest update of the GPS tool on my Android Samsung Tab
2. The Apps name is: GPS Status & Toolbox. It states in their latest
update: “Celebrate the start of EU’s Galileo system”.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I look at the screen, I see the usual round dots for the GPS system
and now additonally squares with an r in front of the numbers. Those are the
ones I never saw before. I assume that that are Galileo sattelites. I have a
fix on 6 squares and 4 or 5(just above the horizon) which don’t get a
fix.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The same app on my Samsung 5 mini does not show this picture with squares
(sofar I hope).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My best guess is that the more recent tab has already received the update
that the chipset can be read out with Galileo data, while the phone does
not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have also checked my Orgeon 600 (18 months in my possesoin), which
supposedly should have a Galileo prepared chipset, but that does not show the
same result. So I hope that Garmin is working on a firmware update for my
Oregon 600 as well,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards, Hugo</DIV>

<P>Have you actually checked that you are receiving Galileo sat signals (by
for example using one of the apps that show NMEA output from the chipset)?
Given that only 11 satellites are operational it seems rather unlikely that
you would be able to achieve a Galileo only fix (which would likely be
required for any improvement in accuracy) for any longer period.</P>

<DIV>As of today the European position sattalite system Galileo is
operational. Should improve the accuracy from the mapping with relatively
new GPS apparatusses substantially. My Samsung Tab 2 does improve to less
than 3 m, but my Samsung S5 mini does not <IMG
