Trust me, you still want to update your firmware.

Yes.

That is what I needed, I have been using the GS18T for three years and this is the first time that I have seen this particular manual.

Just a quick glance, it appears that the Galileo tracking has to be turned before they are used.?ÿ Is that correct?

Thanks,

I am waiting on my key for the latest, which I think is V5.00.

@plumb-bill

I see that my keys are available on myWorld, I just need to download them.

On myWorld it shows that I have Galileo, but the option to turn on or off it not showing up on the satellite tracking panel like GPS and Glonass does.

Do you know what it takes to turn Galileo on?  I called and left a message with my Leica representative, but have not heard anything back.  I have a job in the mountains tomorrow that I wanted to try Galileo on.

I just found the check box for it.

Thanks all.

To answer your question about whether you are using the satellites in your solution.?ÿ The first thing is go to satellite tracking and check the box for Galileo. If you don't have the license key for that, there will be a warning that pops up saying you need to send Leica money to unlock that feature. (HA HA)

Once you have Galileo turned on it should appear in your satellite list. One thing to look out for is if you base is not tracking it and your rover is. In that case the Sattelite number will appear in parentheses. In that case, it is not part of your solution. It would look like (G32).

You're welcome.  You will notice a difference!

I was unaware that Galileo was included in the original purchase price of the GS18T so I tried to get it added and was told by Leica that I already owned the license.

With the help of the information that TTT242 sent me, I was able to find the check box to turn Galileo tracking on.  Our state VRS has just started to include the Galileo in their corrections, I was able to use the GS18T with the Galileo enabled yesterday in the mountains and had an average of 5 additional satellites which allowed me to accomplish my survey that I otherwise would not have been able to do with GPS.  The fog and low hanging clouds was so dense that the robot could not see the prism.

Thanks to all that helped me with this.
