	ESA - Navigation
		Data from both conventional GPS and from GPS enhanced using the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service were recorded to demonstrate the improvement in positioning accuracy offered by the enhancement system.
		25 October 2005 One of Europe’s leading manufacturers of global satellite navigation system receivers is introducing the first commercially available receiver to make use of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service signals delivered via the Internet.
		This is what was demonstrated at the German round of the World Rally Championship, where some competitors had their paths through the rally stages tracked using satellite navigation.

	ESA - Navigation - What is EGNOS?
		The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is Europe’s first venture into satellite navigation.
		Consisting of three geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations, EGNOS will achieve 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 is Europe’s contribution to the first stage of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and is a precursor to Galileo, the full global satellite navigation system under development in Europe.

	ESA Portal - Press Releases - Go-ahead for a European global navigation satellite system
		The European space based augmentation system is known as EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), a set of navigation payloads on-board geostationary satellites, continuously monitored by ground stations both within and outside Europe.
		Some European car manufactures are already featuring satellite navigation systems in their top-of-the-range vehicles and cheap hand-held receivers are becoming widely used by recreational sailors, climbers and hikers.
		With the services provided by satellites, it will be possible to improve not only navigation accuracy but also enhance communication and surveillance capabilities, thus increasing safety, gaining time and reducing fuel consumption and costs.

	European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On July 28, 2005, it was announced that the transfer of EGNOS operations from the development agency (European Space Agency) to the operating company, European Satellite Services Provider, had begun.
		It will consist of three geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations and was intended to be operational in June 2005, but due to delays the date has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2006.
		Similar service is provided in America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) system.

	Articles - GALILEO positioning system
		The European geostationary navigation overlay system is a system of satellites and ground stations designed to increase the accuracy of the current GPS and GLONASS in Europe.
		The Galileo positioning system is a proposed satellite navigation system, to be built by the European Union (EU) as an alternative to the Global Positioning System (which is controlled by the military of the United States) and the Russian GLONASS.
		The encrypted Public Regulated Service (PRS) and Safety of Life Service (SoL) will both provide an accuracy comparable to the Open Service.

	ESA Portal - The best view of the Tour is from space
		This new approach to the competition is made possible by the use of data from EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), a European Space Agency-developed network made up of satellites and ground stations which correct and augment data provided by the US Global Positioning System (GPS).
		It is now possible to track the position and speed of each rider in the Tour de France in real-time thanks to the EGNOS European satellite positioning system, a preparatory programme for the Galileo system.
		Thanks to satellites, it will be possible to know at any given time where each rider is and how he is doing in the race, whether he is in the peloton or has broken away and is out in front.
