GPS GLONASS is not a competitor

By 2011, all automobile plants in Russia may be required to be installed in new cars chipsets GLONASS. Patriotic system will be equipped with a "VAZ and KAMAZ", and Toyota, Peugeot and other foreign cars with Russian registration. Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said that by year's end the government can sign the act, under which all cars are made available in the territory of Russia, will be equipped with GLONASS receivers. Thus, the navigation system will work with the two navigation systems at once. In addition, all new cars produced in Russia, and the system is planned to equip first responders ERA-GLONASS, which is two to four years, will cover the entire territory of our country. This system will promptly call emergency services to the accident site. On the handheld and mobile phones do not support domestic satellite navigation system will be introduced customs duties of 25%. Ivanov said that the ban on the importation of these products will not import duties are introduced to the consumer "slightly felt the difference." However, it seems that foreign companies are not the first year of working for the Russian navigation market is not yet ready for the abrupt transition to dvuhsistemnuyu work. For example, Stephen Bernard, a representative of Garmin, said that no calculation of costs and analysis of such cooperation has not yet been carried out. The appearance of the devices, both full-time and remote, installing the chipset GLONASS will not be affected. Now engineers are developing a universal sensor that will be installed in cars made in Russia. Compared to current devices, the new development will be more compact and less power-consuming. Devices with dual chipset offered on the Russian market is too big and uncomfortable for the "domestic" use. By next year, will be charged the secrecy of data accuracy for GLONASS. Vice Prime Minister explained this decision by saying that restrictions imposed by the Ministry of Defence of the territory, relating to classified installations, preventing kadastrirovaniyu land. "Defense has to understand the obvious: that they are close, all others have long been open. All foreign maps reflect all up to one meter, "-" Ivanov said. The navigation system will not be included in a regular complete vehicles, but only as an option. But politicians are convinced that up to 90% of buyers prefer vehicles with navigation. If the installation GLONASS was mandatory for every car, assembled in Russia, it would increase its cost. But the main advantage of machines of domestic brands is their affordability. Recall at the Moscow Motor Show, which took place in August-September 2010 were submitted and the Lada Kalina Priora, equipped with the GLONASS system. Then the representatives of AvtoVAZ suggested that this option will cost about 10,000 rubles. Production of machines with built-in navigation system at the factory in Togliatti will begin in the first quarter of 2011. When you go to a dual navigation automakers and companies to develop the navigation to "educate" the existing GPS technology working with maps and settings GLONASS. Experts are confident that the foreign staff navigational system (German, Japanese, French) is not so easy to translate into dvuhsistemny mode - this is very global and expensive project. For motorists the difference is not noticeable: the Russian navigation system is also capable of working with anti-theft systems, monitoring and positioning on the map. A user may not even be aware what kind of system at some point will use the navigator - a loss of signal from the GLONASS satellites, the device will automatically switch to the GPS. Such "support" will come in handy, as for the development and getting rid of "childhood diseases" of the Russian navigation take a year or two. Concern for the fate of the Global Navigation Satellite System is understandable - it has already invested 60 billion rubles. In this and next year the project will take about another 48 billion rubles. Vladimir Putin believes that one advantage of GLONASS is that it dvuhsistemnaya - receives signals from the Russian and American satellites. Moreover, Ivanov does not consider GPS competitor - rather, an ally, and the European Galileo and Chinese Compass "- and even more so, as the first did not come into our market because of bureaucratic delays, and the second is not focused on our customers. However, two years ago, in September 2008, the executive director of the GLONASS / GNSS-Forum Alexei Pchelintsev said that the further modernization of the Russian navigation system includes not only compatible with GPS, but with Galileo. By the end of this year, the number embedded in the work of the complexes GLONASS is 43 thousand. They are installed in ambulances, the Department of Internal Affairs and other vehicles. Recall that the current mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin summer proposed to introduce a bill requiring all public bodies to purchase only domestic navigation equipment. To equip public transport, will require at least 900,000 systems GLONASS. And when you consider that one of the priorities of the new mayor of the capital is to solve the transport problem, in particular, public transport, the manufacturers of the Russian navigation work in the next few months will be enough.
