Fellow geeks - if after all the Galileo outage stuff you feel the need to go down the wire and receive every GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/Baidu/whatever health message, I can recommend the "NAVILOCK 62524 GPS". It has a stonking chipset (u-blox 8) which delivers the goods. 1/5
There is a huge PDF with full details on how to get the chipset to emit what you need, find it here: u-blox.com/sites/default/… 2/5
To get you going, there is the free u-blox 'u-center' tool which, although Windows only, runs under Wine and it helps to get to know the chipset. The device itself is very Linux friendly. 3/5
To deploy under wine, use winecfg to select 'Windows Vista' support level. The GNSS receiver is /dev/ttyACM0 under Linux, which showed up as COM33 under Wine for me 4/5
Finally, be aware that by default, you will not get any Galileo data from the NAVILOCK 62524 unless you request this via the u-blox protocol. Enjoy! 5/5 /cc @navsas
