Guest ~pmv Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi guys, first post. The topic says it all really; I'm thinking of getting a G300 and will be using it in the UK for navigation. Could you tell me if it supports GLONASS, or just GPS/A-GPS? Thank you.

Guest kyan31 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I think its just a stardard GPS reciever. not Glonass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydo1 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 No. GLONASS is only usually on devices that make their way into Russia (after all GLONASS is the Russian equivalent to GPS). Source: GSM Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MioCZ Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Search wiki, IMHO GLONASS is not fully operable (less then 24 satelites online) and is not primary for personal use, it means not supported by phone manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nexus 4 has Glonass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydo1 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) A lot of phones do have GLONASS because Broadcom's (and other manufacturers) GPS chips have support for it (any devices sold in Russia that support navigation must have it) Nexus 4 has Glonass As does the Motorola RAZR and the Galaxy S3. Search wiki, IMHO GLONASS is not fully operable (less then 24 satelites online) and is not primary for personal use, it means not supported by phone manufacturers. It is fully operational in Russia (hence why the Russian government are pushing for it to be supported) however worldwide coverage is patchy.

Guest ~pmv Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks for the responses guys - I guess the consensus of opinion is 'no' :-( I thought it worth asking as a lot of phones now do have such support (or at least be hardware capable), but I was unsure how accurate the list on Wikipedia is.

Guest Timbones Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ole GPS is perfectly adequate for navigating in the UK... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
