Here's one for Ghizzg or Kindness or anyone. Galileo went live yesterday
http://galileognss.eu/
The Pocket GPS World mail out said that car satnav received it and I vaguely remember that EU rules may have made European car manufacturers to build it into their systems, suitable moaning about this. So I'm wondering whether it's built in the cars satnav if you went for this option. I haven't been able to find anything that says MIB II receivers are already prepared for Galileo. I know my tablet does the US ones and Russian ones Glossnoss. Galileo you 1 metre accuracy when fully implemented.

Probably more hard Googling is required.

So Texas Instruments chipset but haven't found whether it's compatible, loaded and indeed is working.
I'm sure VW owners might be asking the same question but haven't found them yet.

It's been a long time coming so the standard was developed sometime ago.All in-car navigation in new European cars will also be able to access Galileo's positioning system.

Obviously smartphones running Android Auto will also take advantage of Galileo supplement reception if they have the Qualcomm chipset above, sorted out for Android 5 & 6. You use GPS Test by barbeauDev not the other ones, will show a country flag against the satellite group connected. Pass on iPhones.A number of smartphones using Snapdragon 820, 652, 650, 625, 617 and 435 chipsets will already work with Galileo after a software update.
