Hi,

It seems that u-blox now have an interesting chip coming, according to
the press-release it has L1/L2/L5 and GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BEIDOU
capability, with RTK support as an option.

As I have suggested before, the precision would fit the purpose of
identifying which lane a care is in, something they make explicit
reference to as a use scenario.

As for timing support not much is known, but it is interesting.

Hi

Looking at the press release, this is sort of the next step in the process that got us
the NovaTel GPS units on eBay as ex-Uber surplus. If they can come up with a $1,000
board that replaces the NovaTel $5,000 unit, they have a product …. Will we see a
$100 LEA-9T with the chip in it? Only time will tell. My guess would be not any time soon….
