The document discusses EGNOS, Europe's Satellite Based Augmentation System. It provides an overview of EGNOS, its architecture and service area. It then discusses opportunities for EGNOS in applications such as precision agriculture, mapping, and surveying. EGNOS provides free, meter-level positioning accuracy across most of Europe via satellites or terrestrial data links. The document promotes the use of EGNOS for applications that require positioning accuracy from 1-5 meters.

- 16. GNSS provides an efficient technology for mapping and are widely used by organisations such as utility companies as well as regional and local authorities. The use of GNSS in mapping often means services with centimetre level accuracy and substantial costs (e.g., infrastructure, equipment, software, service). Now EGNOS can contribute in growing the use of GNSS in real time EGNOS and Mapping - providing free accuracy that is widely available
- 17. For many mapping applications meter level accuracy is sufficient Applications such as thematic mapping for small and medium municipalities, forestry and park management as well as surveying of utility infrastructures can benefit from EGNOS. Most of the devices used for mapping are already EGNOS-ready. Thus, EGNOS also allows more and more non-professionals to access GNSS mapping technologies. Free accuracy…

EGNOS corrections can be received via different means: directly via EGNOS satellites without any communication costs via terrestrial communication means such as internet or cellular networks, thanks to EDAS, the EGNOS Data Access Service. EDAS is the single point of access for the data generated and collected by EGNOS. EDAS is freely available and currently in a test service phase. ... widely available Southern Europe/MEDA Middle-East Northern & Eastern Europe

EGNOS is… … an effective option for a wide range of mapping applications with meter accuracy … free; it does not require installation of hardware nor ongoing subscriptions. … in most of the new GNSS devices … covers the majority of Europe - no white spots … permitting real time positioning. … thanks to EDAS, also receivable by terrestrial communication means, (e.g., internet or GPRS) … providing system integrity, supplying information on the reliability of GPS signals. In summary: why EGNOS? EGNOS is Europe’s first venture into the field of GNSS and a precursor to Galileo, Europe’s global satellite navigation system, currently under development. EGNOS is an open system, now operational and available for use.

Editor's Notes
- #4: The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is Europe’s first venture into satellite navigation. It augments the two military satellite navigation systems now operating, the US GPS and Russian GLONASS systems, and makes them suitable for safety critical applications such as flying aircraft or navigating ships through narrow channels. Consisting of three geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations, EGNOS achieves its aim by transmitting a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy of the positioning signals sent out by the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS). It allows users in Europe and beyond to determine their position to within 2 metres, compared with about 20 metres for GPS and GLONASS alone.
