EGNOS(European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) A European system of earth stations and satellites that improves the tracking accuracy of the GPS and GLONASS navigation systems down to approximately 15 feet. Launched in 2004, EGNOS comprises 34 reference stations and three satellites that cover most of Europe. The stations track the navigation satellites and send correction signals to the EGNOS satellites, which transmit them to EGNOS-enabled receivers. For more information, visit the European GNSS Supervisory Authority at www.gsa.europa.eu. See GPS augmentation system and Galileo. EGNOS [′eg‚nōs] (navigation) How to thank TFD for its existence?

The receiver, which is capable of working with DGPS, Beacon, WAAS, EGNOS, OmniStar VBS, OmniStar XP, OmniStar HP and RTK (with a base station or base station network available), makes it a snap to switch from one correction source to another. 0, Atmel's GPS chipset is now capable of receiving SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems) signals from multiple geostationary satellites such as WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) in the USA or EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigational Overlay System) in Europe simultaneously. Although it may be true that the Japanese government and the European Union are working on EGNOS systems, these are expected, like WAAS, to be primarily for aviation users. |
