New GPS Chip: GPS, Galileo and indoor

The first two are no problem (save that the Galileo contellation is not yet in orbit) but the last?

The technology has a tracking sensitivity of -160 dBm, which enables indoor coverage.

The chip the u-blox 5 is from Switzerland’s U-blox. It’s to be unveiled at 3GSM in Barcelona this month. Another feature? The ability to save the almanac to speed finding satellites the next time its turned on. I guess everyone will be doing that now. TomTom has had such a feature for a while.
