It’s fun...it’s just fun. And it works! It’s social and so has the potential to be more of an engaging experience. A cool way of using Galileo to have fun, collaborate and make your own creative social drawings with friends. Meaningful, engaging and valuable.

Consumer app - Most accurate city draw GNSS - no more Urban Canyons

Some of the many use cases thatcould be part of the application.

Social networking

Geo Advertising

Mapping/Personal navigation

Geo information

Can test accuracy and fix - can also test the use of credits followed by micro payments - One example of how features can be used as a proving ground for liability critical payments.

More than just a game

Give data back to EU space agency increase the Galileo user test base - There is both the business and social impact case.

More than just a game

Better indoor penetration from Galileo and other sensors (sensor fusion) also means being able to do accurate indoor mapping and seamless outdoor to/from indoor experience.

While it may be a game that is doing these cool things and making use of this technology, it’s a chance to test the robustness of some Galileo features and multi constellation GNSS in a live environment, before they go into safety critical and liability critical uses.

Testing ground

As with the payments case it is the chance to mitigate against some of the challenges in future use i.e. emergency services and aviation. Faster fix, more reliable connection/accuracy.
