I've heard that eventually most GPS devices, like phones, will be able to also use Galileo and GLONASS (the Russian satellite navigation system). Does anyone know the status of that? There's a list on Wikipedia of GLONASS-compatible phones, but it's not clear if the typical American phone can actually use it.
Also, does anyone know how much more accurate the positioning will be with the 3 systems combined? And whether phones will have access to regional systems like for Japan? The Wikipedia pages are enticing on these ideas, but I haven't seen most of it updated in a while.
