Previously, with only one constellation and GPS, you could see perhaps two or three satellites and quickly lose the positioning within the city. This is now rare to see in devices that do not support multi constellations. Plus, all the constellations are built to be compatible with each other — all the receivers that can see multiple constellations can compute the position using the different satellites XYO.network Foam.space Satellite Map Remember to Subscribe :) Share this podcast with a frien...

Knowing the depth and shape of the seafloor (bathymetry) is fundamental for understanding ocean circulation, tides, tsunami forecasting, fishing resources, sediment transport, environmental change, underwater geo-hazards, infrastructure construction and maintenance, and much more. Despite many years of effort, less than 20 percent of the world ocean's seafloor has been mapped.
