What does Galileo system need ground stations in UK for for global coverage?
And yes I know the role of the ground stations in a GNSS system, but the sats work just fine for a while without an upload, yes?

Doesn't. AFAIK this is about Galileo ground stations on the Falkland Islands and Ascension Island, which are British Overseas Territories, not UK. Both sides in this dispute seem determined on inflicting self-harm.

Those were relocated ages ago already.

Apple looked at the number of 'mericans with passports and thought why bother?
Greetings from Europe, Galileo works as well as the US military GPS from satelites orbiting.
This seems more an Apple issue. On our boat I-pads run Navionics, so your suggestion to check the settings makes sense.
Or maybe the US version of Navionics is blocked for the use in Europe, so we are able to benefit from your sales prices
At least mine (not very new version) running both on Android and iPad works fine both sides of the pond.

Ding..ding..ding. Mine doesn't. I have a Garmin Glo2 that the iPad connects to via bluetooth for GPS.

Not in the UK, it's places like the Ascension Islands. Galileo will work fine in Europe just not globally. You can't "relocate" these stations, without them Galileo doesn't work in those regions (ie it's is not accurate)

That has also been my understanding since the very first models years and years ago.
Why won't Galileo work in those places exactly?
And why can't you relocate the stations, when that is exactly what they did?
Spot the Ascension Island ground station?

You have some good company, Webb Chiles made the same mistake a few years ago. Has to be a cellular model iPad.

Jamba is just mad that the UK helped to built it, but because of Brexit it was shut out of using it. Members only.
Galileo works fine.

It doesn't work. It has no global coverage. It will be fine for Europe.
Galileo is built on UK technology as no one else in the EU could match us.
The EU said we could use the system just not for defence.
To be fair, its an open service mostly, but yes, UK was kicked out from encrypted, military grade restricted service.
They have access to similar service from Uncle Sam, so they're covered.
It does not? Why is that? Can you explain in detail, please? Do the sats shut down transmission over UK? How about when not over UK, but over UK horizon?
G in the acronym stands for global, yes?
Partly, but there are no magic in it.
Exactly. EU law forbits certain including encryption secrets shared outside member states. UK has similar laws. Fair game.
Here you have realtime proof of it working globally, is this fake:
Every single satellite tracked every second 24/7/365 and working globally.
