I'm assuming that you are asking about GNSS (the European global navigation satellite system). This system is not fully operational yet and is expected to reach full operating capacity in 2019.

This is a forum for garmin support. I think my question is well posted. Yes,I am asking about GNSS which started on Thursday.
So, the combination of GPS and GLONASS isn't accurate enough for you?
I think your question is irrelevant. Technology evolves. So do our needs. Galileo is more accurate. If Galileo has the same accuracy as gps+glonass then it means that also the battery will last longer.
But the battery isn't the point.
I was just curious about the support of the new satellite system.
So, does anyone know if it can-will support Galileo or will I have to apologize for my question?
Actually this is not a Garmin support site. As AWEATHERALL indicates above, it's a user forum.
And valerhs might be well advised to check out who AWEATHERALL is and his relationship with Garmin before dismissing what AWEATHERALL says here in this forum.

Galileo is not fully operation yet so who knows if it really is more accurate than current systems. Who know what effects it might have on battery life? I for one would not want to see technology that is not fully operational or proven employed on any of the devices I own. Would you really want that?
Garmin will support the technology when it is fully operational and proven to be better than what currently exists. I would not expect that to be within the lifetime of current devices.
If you want an answer from Garmin, then, as already indicated, contact Garmin directly. The best you can hope here is speculation mixed with frustration and a dash of damnation.

According to the GNSS the Galileo system will have better accuracy due to the larger density of satellites and also better atomic watch accuracy. Let's hope they will meet their expectations. :-)
But apart from accuracy as a cyclist and a runner i am interested in SAR .
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.
