Hello

today the new European Galileo Sat is active and will work in addiction to GPS and GLONASS
I would know if Fenix 3 able to receive Galileo Sat signal . I read in the article below that only newest
GPS chipsets are able to receive the new Galileo signal. Is the Fenix3 GPS chipset able to receive the Galileo SAT signal ?
Perhaps can we solve gps issues for Fenix3 using Galileo ?

On December 15th the European Commission announced that the European satellite system Galileo will start offering its initial services. Over the next few years Galileo will increase the number of satellites from the existing 18 to the full operational capacity of 30 satellites. We at Garmin have been tracking the development of Galileo for over a decade and will continue to track its development. Many of our products are Galileo capable, and now that the Galileo system has reached its initial operational capability, we will carefully test and validate our Galileo capable products and provide selected updates at a future date. We are committed to delighting our customers with best in class positioning capabilities, and look forward to integrating the Galileo service into many of our products.
