New European GPS Service Free, More Accurate in Europe - by Daniel Ionescu
The European Union introduced on Thursday a free global positioning system gps egnosem that it claims is almost five times more accurate than the U.S. system currently in use. Called the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), the system uses three satellites and a ground network of about 40 ground positioning stations and four control centers. The U.S. military-run GPS system, in widespread use across the globe, offers a 10-meter (32 feet) accuracy level, but EGNOS promises to fine-tune this experience and deliver accuracy levels to around 2 meters (6 feet).
