Galileo Positioning System

The Galileo Positioning System is a global navigation satellite system developed by the European Union. It provides precise positioning and timing information for users around the world, similar to the GPS system. Galileo's satellites orbit the Earth and transmit signals to receivers on the ground, allowing devices to calculate their exact location. With improved accuracy and reliability, especially in urban areas, Galileo aims to enhance navigation for various applications, including transportation, agriculture, and emergency services. It emphasizes independence from other systems and is designed to be interoperable with GPS, enhancing global navigation capabilities.
