Is there any reason to think that Snaptrack couldn't be set up to use GPS as a default, but if unavailable to look for Galileo signals when/if they ever become a reality? Or give you the option to setup which one is the default? Beats me. I'm just a non-techie ignoramus. More interested in whether Snaptrack will get serious competition as a result of Galileo. I understand that Ericsson has some sort of multi-mode method for tracking shipping containers, trailers, and other devices but I don't know how prevalent its technology might be. ericsson.com Take a look also at Aeris.net which Q licensed long ago. qualcomm.com aeris.net
