As I was saying, indeed. There is a huge difference between affordable gear and cutting edge gear in price and performance. With GLONASS there are several extra biases to worry about. It would be nice if prices of these things could drop. Already having GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU on my mobile phone shows we move along already.
