ossumguywill Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I have an explorist 600 that is EGNOS compatible. I heard that egnos was the forerunner of galileo. If they operate on the same frequency, would it be possible that magellan could release an update that would allow me to use gallileo and gps? I hope I won't be stuck with a 10 ft accuracy unit while others have 1/2 foot accuracy. Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) I would imagen your Explorist 600 will be obsolete by the time the Galileo system is functional Galileo Edited December 16, 2006 by Jim W Quote Link to comment
+ICHTHYS Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Accuracy will be about the same with Galileo as it is with the current GPS under the open system of Galileo Quote Link to comment
TeamCypherX Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yeah. The open system will be about the same, but you can always opt to pay money (for a service that is currently free) and get a little bit more accurate. In realistic situations though I don't think the extra 3 feet is going to make a world of difference. Quote Link to comment
