Seconded.
That said, when will there be a civilian receiver with both GPS and
GLONASS capability for sale in the US?
You'd have a harder time finding a military GPS+GLONASS receiver, methinks.
There are lots of survey-grade receivers on the civilian market already, and
some automatic vehicle location units are starting to appear. I don't know of
any units cheap enough for the mass consumer market.
Putting on my cynic's hat, I expect that the marketing wizards want to saturate
the automobile market with GPS units first. Soon they will magically discover
that GPS+GLONASS is oh so much better in urban canyons and everyone will lust
after an upgrade, even at a premium price. Two sales for the price of one.
Three when Galileo comes onstream.
