Hello, I'm back as promised with some additional info. The EGNOS SDK allows you as a developer to use EGNOS in smartphones without needing an extensive knowledge of GPS positioning. The position obtained by the GPS receiver in the smartphone is enhanced thanks to EGNOS satellites, or alternatively, from the internet thanks to the satellite data made available by the European Commission (for free!).
The SDK enables to do much more than improving the positioning thanks to EGNOS. The new Demo App showcases a series of possible new applications, including: • Receiving EGNOS information through the internet thanks to SISNeT and EDAS support; • Use the smartphone to broadcast ‘live’ EGNOS positioning enhancement to nearby devices through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and file logging; • Detecting and eliminating faulty satellites or measurements involved in the position calculation to obtain a better positioning accuracy; • Customizing the algorithms to obtain the position to improve the accuracy for specific environments. Discover all possibilities by downloading the SDK Source Code, the Demo App and following the How to Install guide: http://egnos-portal.gsa.europa.eu/developer-platform/egnos-toolkits/egnos-sdk/download-egnos-sdk More info next week, cheers.
