Hi Kevin, so does that mean that someday we can get a Holux receiver that will pick up the Euro system? Sounds better than what we have now. See pasted below, from the bottom of the online article on their system: a joint programme being carried out by the European Space Agency, the European Commission and Eurocontrol. It comprises a network of more than forty elements all over Europe that collect, record, correct and improve data from the US Global Positioning System. The modified signals are then relayed via geostationary satellites to user terminals, offering positional accuracy better than two metres, compared with 15 to 20 metres for GPS alone. In addition, EGNOS provides a guarantee of signal quality that GPS
does not.----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Chao" <kevinchao89@xxxxxxxxx>
