GALILEO online: any changes seen?

Fire up Lady Heather v5,  start it with the -rxu option to speak Ublox binary.  Enter the keyboard command SG.  That will let you see which GNSS systems are in use and let you change them.  My M8 (fw 3.01) lets me select Galileo, but I see no Galileo sats.

To get the receiver back to NMEA, use the !m keyboard command.


The MAC M8 can receive three systems simultaneously, but what three mine are

programmed for I don't know.  I suspect it's at least GPS & GLONASS, but the
third?  Perhaps BeiDou?

Mark,

Just so that I understand correctly, that would mean compiling and running
LH5 on the Raspberry Pi?  I recall you said that was possible.

However, another source has told me that a firmware upgrade is required, and
that the MAX M8Q isn't field programmable, and that the ones I have are not
the -10 version which includes Galileo.

So I'm stymied for a while!

I've made a note of how to do it, though.

Cheers,
David
