It’s also true that I did make a rather exuberant toast at a conference dinner in St. Petersburg in 1996 about the prospects for GLONASS.
And even before that, I published an article that said the GPS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) would be available for all phases of flight by 1997. (At least, that prediction was made by an expert in the field, not me.)

By Inside GNSSQ: Ever wonder why it is SO difficult to launch your spaceborne GNSS receiver?
A: I often wonder if most people, both inside and outside the aerospace community, really understand all the challenges that must be overcome prior to launching a spaceborne GNSS receiver.
ByThe European Space Agency (ESA) funded the development of a new GNSS/INS navigation system called DINGPOS to assess the potential utility of Galileo signals and current (L1) and new (L5) GPS signals for indoor positioning. The DINGPOS project also investigated new indoor positioning methods for pedestrians based on those signals and other sensors.
By Alan CameronSensor fusion is a predominant feature of modern navigation systems. To integrate navigation systems with other sensors, the spatial and temporal relationship of the sensor systems must be defined and calibrated.
