ES1.11 Galileo Skyplot not fixed

You’ve just released ES V1.11 and the release notes say you’ve fixed bugs with BieDou/Galilleo Skyplot…

Hate to say it, the Galileo Skyplot still isn’t appearing - that’s trying it in both Windows and Apple versions.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for bringing this up! That’s a great observation. I want to clarify why you aren’t seeing the Galileo signals in the skyplot right now. The reason is that our UBX-to-RINEX converter (the one included in Reach devices) isn’t working quite as expected at the moment. So, if you use an observation file taken directly from a Reach device, the Galileo skyplot won’t display those signals. Nonetheless, if you have a UBX file from your survey (here’s the guide on how to set up your device to collect it), you can use the “Convert to RINEX” workflow in Emlid Studio to obtain an observation file that will show the Galileo satellites in your skyplot.

The fix for this issue will be available with the 34.9 release for RS4 and RS4Pro. I’ll be sure to update the thread once it’s out.

Thanks Alexandra, I presume you’ll also be releasing a similar fix for the RS3’s… some of us still use them :flushed_face:

Hi Nick,

I’ve just checked, and I can confirm the fix is planned for previous RS* models as well. However, it may take a bit longer before the update is available.

If the observations are still there, one could simply download the broadcast files (or even better, ultra rapid / rapid precise emphemeris) from i.e. the IGS as navigation source.

Thanks Christian, it’s not a critical thing, just a ‘nice to do’ as I use(d!!) it as a quick way to check up on the geometry and cycle slips when running PPK or base Static Obs.

Good to hear the older models aren’t being forgotten with the rush for the new kid on the block :smiley:
