Anyone knows if the HTC Trinity GPS chipset supports tracking of EGNOS satellites?
I know that Sirf III chipsets support and can be enabled via a NMEA command or SIRF demo. But Trinity uses Qualcomm gpsONE chipset.

The EU Commission on 1 October the operation of the geostationary navigation complementary service for Europe, EGNOS, included. An open service is free of charge for citizens and businesses are available, informed the Commission in Brussels. "With today executed step, we open to European companies and citizens access to a variety of enhanced applications and new opportunities, thanks to more precise navigation signals. We lay the groundwork for a future that will soon become a reality, "said Antonio Tajani, the Commission Vice President responsible for transport. EGNOS is Europe's first contribution to the satellite and a precursor of global satellite navigation system Galileo, the European Union currently develops.

This is complementary to a satellite system that improves the accuracy of the signals for satellite navigation in Europe. The Ortungsungenauigkeit the current GPS signal is thereby reduced by about ten meters to two meters. In addition, EGNOS provides citizens and businesses significant benefits in the field of automatic toll collection and usage-based insurance schemes in transport. Another plus is the support of more precise personal navigation services such as Blindenführungssysteme.
Both of open service as well as the safety-critical services are provided free, and the European Union is committed to long-term support of EGNOS and Galileo on the putting beyond obligation. It also is within the geographical scope of coverage of the three participating satellites are extended. Is administered by the EGNOS operations from seven air navigation service providers, founded and based in Toulouse, France company European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP SAS).
EGNOS will be certified in accordance with the Regulation on the Single European Sky for use in aerospace and other sensitive areas. EGNOS Service for a safety-critical applications where human life is at stake, will probably be established by mid-2010. This service will send users to a malfunction of the system within six seconds a valuable warning. A commercial service that is currently in the testing phase, will also be available in 2010.
