I'm sure this is part of the plan to ensure we are continually screwed by Eastern Block and Russian cab drivers.]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/Apr 4th 2007 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/I thought it stood for Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, which might turn into GLONASS.

Prices go down, quality goes up.

So how does Russia plan compete against that? The only way they can is to mandate their citizens use GLASNOSS for national security reasons.]]>Apr 4th 2007 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/Europe wont get much of a strong hold at all, because there's will cost the users money...and I read awhile back that hackers have already broke EU's sat code...meaning they can use the sats...for free...something that Europe would not want...since they are launching the sats to have a real bussiness ba made out of this...and your payment to them for use of their system is vital for them.

bottom line...the US's GPS will remain the top dog for the foreseeable future.]]>Apr 5th 2007 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/
Although the EU constellation of satellites needs to be paid for since currently the money is being borrowed. Yet somehow subscriptions are going to be cheaper then satellites that were paid for using the US military defense budget decades ago. Some of you are buying that pipe dream, others know that all of this isn't going to be profitable. It's the EU, mostly with French backing, pretending they are still a global player even though they haven't been for more than a century.

BTW
Currently the EU has more citizens than the US.]]>Apr 8th 2007 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/Apr 5th 2007 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/04/russias-gps-challenging-glonass-system-nearing-completion/
As for subcription to the GPS (US system) there is none. U pay for the equipment and thats it. Well thats the way in Ireland. U have single frequency receivers cost from €200 to €5000 (accuracy of 10m to 1cm with corrections) and then u have dual frequency receivers cost from €8000 to €25000 and u get roughly 1-5 mm accuracy with that.

what u have on the agricultural equipment and construction equipment is dual frequency receivers and u dont need a subcription for that. well not in Europe anyway.
