I don't get it.
Galileo was announced as a much better system then GPS. We are always looking for something better, aren't we? 


Explain to me who Galileo alone will be better for you.  Also indicate
if you will pay for some of the proposed Galileo features that are
fee-based.

Finally, using that information, if you had to choose between GPS and
Galileo, which would you pick and why.

When evaluating against GPS, use a modernized GPS with two additional
civil frequencies...both of which are free (total of three).

Few years ago, Galileo was announced in Europe as a revolution. In that time I was unable to find more information about it, but I remember that the pluses for it were much better signal, higher accuracy and smaller and cheaper devices. For the last few years I didn't find much about it so I am not sure am I correct. The last news I remember was the crash of ArianneV i French Guayana- so you can imagine how much passed from it.

Sorry if I am wrong...

But I think that the U.S. did a big propaganda against it because they're concerned about it. But thumbs up for both!
