I hadn't realized that the Eurpean global positioning system was going to be a pay service. I imagine they will have to redesign the codes. Anyone know what the plan is for the Galileo satellites? Will it be illegal to use devices that just receive the American GPS signal?

Yes - it is supposed to be a pay service, though I have never understood how they think they are going to bring that off as long as the original GPS is available. I suppose they might try to outlaw GPS-only receivers in the EU but they don't have the slightest chance of enforcing that.

No one's going to try and ban GPS in the EU. That's an idiotic notion. There's a lot of negativity, particularly from the US, about Galileo, trying to rubbish it and spreading miss-information about how you will have to pay for it.

Have some facts...

Open Access This will be 'free to air' and for use by the mass market; Simple timing and positioning down to 1m



It will be free, like GPS is, for everyone who uses a handheld or car nav device. It will offer better accuracy, for a fee, for commercial useage such as engineering, surveying etc.
