We have just released magicGNSS version 5.5 which incorporates a new version of the Precise Point Positioning algorithm (PPP). The new PPP is able to process GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO.

Multi-GNSS precise satellite orbits and clocks needed as input by PPP are computed beforehand using magicGNSS‘ ODTS module. Multi-GNSS orbits and clocks are available starting January 1, 2014, with a latency of around 1 day. The new PPP has the following processing modes: GPS-only, GLONASS-only, GPS+GLONASS, GALILEO-only, GPS+GALILEO, and GPS+GALILEO+GLONASS. It is also possible to use the PPP service by email.

magicGNSS/PPP with MULTI-GNSS support  was presented and demonstrated at the ION GNSS 2014 conference in Tampa, Florida, USA. The title of our paper was “magicGNSS‘ Real-Time POD and PPP MULTI-GNSS Service”.

Just a quick explanation about the meaning of station icons in magicGNSS:
