| 3 | 2 | dl lud | Research into satellite navigation, aka SatNav or Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and related technologies. |
| 4 | Example systems: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou. |

| 6 | h2. Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) |
||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | Also known as Assisted GPS (A-GPS). Greatly improves the Time To First Fix (TTFF) by downloading almanac and ephemeris data via mobile broadband or WiFi, instead of waiting for the slow download via the GNSS signal. |

||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 2 | dl lud | SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) is the most common protocol used to retrieve the current almanac and ephemeris data. |
| 13 | 1 | dl lud | There are no free software SUPL servers that we know off. Android uses Google's servers (@supl.google.com@) by default. Most carriers also default to @supl.google.com@ on their APN. GrapheneOS runs a proxy at @supl.grapheneos.org@. |

| 16 | |||
| 17 | 2 | dl lud | PSDS (Predicted Satellite Data Service) is the generic name for a server that provides assistive data which enables the device to calculate a usually weekly forecast of satellite positions. It allows fast TTFF for the following days even without an internet connection. |
