What do you want to know? Basically it's just another set of GNSS satellites that devices can use for positioning, if their chipset supports it. Customers benefit greatly from this.
- xhruso00 8y agoDo we benefit already? I have no idea which positioning system is in effect. E.g. I am in Russia - Have I just used GPS, Galilleo, Glonass or combination of all 3 of them (iPhone 8).
- ymolodtsov 8y agoYour iPhone is indifferent to the type of the system and likely uses several of them at once.
- jabberthemutt 8y agoOn android there are countless apps that show you the satellites currently received, I guess there are similar apps for iphones as well.
- usrusr 8y agoSome (many? all? I have no idea) consumer chipsets with multiple GNSS support can get position from multiple constellations, but cannot combine the signals into one mixed constellation result of better quality than the best single-constellation result they get. In most cases what you see is the GPS result, except when you are close to one of the poles, which are uniquely (afaik) served by Glonass.
