Is it really so few? Snapdragon got support for dual frequency in Snapdragon 855 released in 2018. Use the GPSTest app to see if your phone supports it. https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest

It's transparent to the apps, it's included in all GPS (or technically GNSS) locations. GPSTest has a built in accuracy test mode where to can measure your phones location accuracy. Read more about that here: https://b

The first GPS device I used didn't have any built in maps, only a breadcrumb trail on a monochrome LCD display. It used AA batteries and it was before selective availability was turned off, so accuracy was quite poor compared to today.

Garmin only recently introduced dual-frequency GNSS in some versions of their Fenix 7 watches, and have since added it to some cheaper models like the Forerunner 255. The first watch with L1+L5 was the Coros Vertix 2 from last year, so it&#

Does anyone here have any insights or opinions on L5 only navigation? oneNav seems to think it's better than L1+L5, citing lower complexity and power usage, but with maintained accuracy. Sounds too good to be true, will devices skip th

Does GNSS chipsets in phones really support two way communication? Sounds like something that would need specialized antennas and high output power, not exactly something that can be hidden at least. Galileo also supports or maybe will sup

Xiaomi released a phone with dual frequency GNSS in 2018 (with the Broadcom BCM4775 chipset), and as far as I know most Android phones have had it since then, or maybe a bit later. If you want to see if your phone supports it, try GPSTest.

I find that old.reddit.com is ok on desktop (with uBlock origin), and for mobile there's several third party apps that make for a better experience than a website. I personally like "Relay for reddit".

With all due respect, that may be true in most cases and a good message to receive for most people in therapy, but it's not true in all cases. As has been shown time and time again, humans are very receptive to propaganda and brain was

Yes, especially because we already have four different price zones. Power is still relatively cheap in northern Sweden and out of control in the southern part. The reason for the zones are said to be because of limited transfer capability f

This situation is infuriating to me as a Swede. We use basically no natural gas or oil for heating or power production, and right now we're exporting 3.8 GW to other countries, showing that we have a power surplus equaling several nucl

I think using Chrome or Edge for PWAs and Firefox for general browsing is an acceptable compromise. I don't need to use the same program for video editing and reading news articles etc, although it would be nice if I could.

How do you handle map data updates? Do you regenerate everything from scratch from the full data set, or can you update it incrementally with patches? Is it possible to put the tiles on a CDN like cloudflare?

I think it's the opposite. Now that countries are spending more on their militaries there's more money in the budget for operating costs. The main benefit the Gripen has over the F-35, especially now when F-35s are getting cheaper
