735xt and Galileo support

Hi,
I just saw that fenix 5 will have the galileo support for its GPS.
DO you know if our GPS in 735xt will support it in a next update?

Regards

Unlikely.

Indeed unlikely but imho also unnecessary the 735xt is super accurate and consistent in my region with only gps...

DC Rainmaker published a list of watches/Edge devices that are expecting an update. The 735 isn't on the list.

Does anyone have any news? I'd like to try Galileo...and the 735XT is still a supported product!

Yes, the news is that the 735xt will not be getting Galileo support

But is there a technical reason? Or pure marketing?

Hardware limitation. Chipset does not have the support.

Ok ;) thanks!

Chipset does not have the support.

Could you point me to the source of this information?

AFAIK, the FR735XT has the MTK-3333 chipset, which is Galileo-ready. But I may be wrong.

There is no source, I just made it up!
