Dear all,
the GALILEO system is supposed to go online today (at least for initial
operational capability). Does anybody of you has a GALILEO compatible
receiver and sees already a difference?

Best regards,
Achim

Hi

A lot of the Galileo receivers out there come with a little note “Galileo
compatible with a firmware upgrade”. It will indeed be interesting to see
how this all works out.

Achim,

I'm not sure whether the signals were turned on today, or whether they have
been there for some time but just in a pre-operational status.

I think all my receivers which /might/ be able to get Galileo need an
update, and I've not seen any change in the number of satellites potentially
visible according to gpsd, at least:

http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php
http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=month
http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=year

I heard that for some receivers, it was a choice of Galileo or GPS/GLONASS.
I would be helpful if a list of Galileo receivers were available. I did one
mobile phone which offered Galileo - but "in a future update"...

Cheers,
David

David, several of your satellite count graphs show a slow upward trend
throughout this calendar year, with a bump up for the month of October,
falling back down for part of November, then another step up at the
beginning of December.

http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=year

This is particularly clear on the graph labeled "u-blox MAX-M8Q" on
"RasPi-10", showing a sharp uptick since December 1.

Could this be Galileo or hard to say?

Or maybe just leaves falling off of the trees? :-)

Tim,

Thanks for looking!

There have been a number of antenna moves (all patch antennas located on the
top storey of a 2-storey building) and relocations of various devices, and
unfortunately I don't have it well enough documented to comment.

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?
