@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos top secret…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Luís-Pinto dont want to raise hopes (if something is withdrawn) and I have an NDA. Which oh well…

[dulko79]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos nice way of sharing info about goodies

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yesterday i made a quick test with oficial GPS FW (3 systems). Have to agree to your considerations. Navstar was the best. Glonass did not help (opposite) and Galileo even worst. At begining the results was great. But something with corrections are not good. Don’t understand what is happening. One sign that there are problems is that they don’t published anymore performance reports (last one is from Q3 2019: https://www.gsc-europa.eu/sites/default/files/sites/all/files/Galileo-IS-OS-Quarterly-Performance_Report-Q3-2019.pdf). The system seems frozen. Since shutdown in summer 2019 things are much worst. At meanwhile BDS have 43 operational sats (https://www.glonass-iac.ru/en/BEIDOU/). Managing systems seems the key to get good results.

@Luís-Pinto yup something is funky right ?

Is even more sad when you spent in system more than 13 bilion € with EU citizen taxes…

@Luís-Pinto I still hope they’ll achieve their goal! I’ll keep testing when back in Amsterdam, but skiing in Serbia I had amazing tracks with Galileo. Of course, on open ski slopes should not be that difficult to have great tracks anyway

[Bulkan]

In Canary Islands Galileo works pretty well. Glonass don’t work well.

[Luís Pinto]

@Bulkan glonass never worked well for me. But Gal in begining worked well and now don’t. In somehow can be related with 2019 in summer event that put system off for more than 10 days. It was restored, but news about system is frozen. I even test Gal alone with a chipset dual freq capable (not in sportwatch) and results seems most worst.

[Luís Pinto]

@Bulkan Litle test.

1. Green line: real track;
2. Orange: nav;
3. Blue: nav+gal;
4. Pink: nav+glonass;

At some point blue was right, but inital and final segment completed off, pink especially last segment very off.

[Luís Pinto]

One think that should be thinking is these all systems are rational from economic perspective point of view? Why we cannot have a unified global system (40-50 sats) that save money for real causes (hunger, diseases, life quality)? Political and militar issues?
