Support Context
Why this answer matters
This FAQ is sourced directly from our support database. It helps teams deploy GPSController faster, reduce onboarding friction, and understand platform compatibility for real-world fleet operations.
Answer summary
Under ideal conditions, switching from GPS to Galileo takes 15-45 seconds. However, in active jamming environments in 2026 conflict zones, you should expect 2-4 minutes of complete positional blackout where vehicle location is essentially u...
