What is GNSS?

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to any satellite constellation that provides global positioning, navigation, and timing services. 

Using signals from space, these systems transmit ranging and timing data to GNSS-enabled receivers – such as your phone -, which then use this data to determine location. 

With the Galileo constellation now having a significant number of operational satellites, along with GPS and other GNSS, your device can achieve better location accuracy and faster fixes.
