Default [Q] GNSS Position system precision?

I have been looking for a review on the actual precision on the S III GNSS Positioning System, but could not find any on the internet. If any of you have a device and have tried out this function (or know the location where this function was reviewed), could you share it please? Thank you

Try my review of the Note, which also has GLONASS, here - http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/gal...art-3-gps.html

Video:



Worth pointing out here that the S3 has GPS and GLONASS support, just like the Note. That means you see more satellites at any one time, which means more accurate positioning, better lock strength, and better lock speed.

thanks for the interesting reply, but I wonder with the new chip, will there be any improvements in the SIII?

Won't know about that till it comes out I guess. I'll be doing a GPS review like the one above for the S3.

Hi friend, what is the update for SIII now with this GNSS system? Does it work automatically by default, or should there be some specific software to get it work? I am very curious

It definitely works by default, no need to add specific software or anything

I will have more definite updates about the quality of GPS on the S3 soon.

I'm also interested in any information about GPS accuracy. Especially while driving.

The GPS chip is the exact same as the one in the Galaxy Note, so the SGS3 GPS should work somewhat similar as the Note.
