"The EGNOS signals can be received by GPS receivers equipped with a
specific software. In combination with Egnos signals, the accuracy of
GPS navigation can be improved significantly; according to ESA, users
can navigate with an accuracy of about 2 meters as opposed to GPS
alone which provides an accuracy of 10 meters."
