[time-nuts] GALILEO online: any changes seen?

[David J Taylor]

Dear all,
the GALILEO system is supposed to go online today (at least for initial
operational capability). Does anybody of you has a GALILEO compatible
receiver and sees already a difference?

Best regards,
Achim

Achim,

I'm not sure whether the signals were turned on today, or whether they have 
been there for some time but just in a pre-operational status.

I think all my receivers which /might/ be able to get Galileo need an 
update, and I've not seen any change in the number of satellites potentially 
visible according to gpsd, at least:

  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=year

I heard that for some receivers, it was a choice of Galileo or GPS/GLONASS. 
I would be helpful if a list of Galileo receivers were available.  I did one 
mobile phone which offered Galileo - but "in a future update"...

Cheers,
David
