EGNOS coverage
Accuracy : depending on the conditions, 1 to 5m standard performance Most ranges of receivers have currently EGNOS enabled products
GALILEO
First concepts in 1999, Galileo programme started 2003 Currently being built by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA)
Four navigation services and one Search and Rescue service Six different navigation signals Three carrier frequencies Better performance than other satellite navigation systems Compatibility and interoperability with other satellite navigation systems
