The Future of Android Location Services
summary
Describes a deployed prototype and SDK that fuses raw GNSS measurements (carrier phase, pseudorange, L5/E5) with correction streams to move smartphone positioning from ~5 m open sky and ~20 m in cities toward a target of 100 cm and better (aiming for 50 cm). Shows live Xiaomi Mi 8 and other compatible devices, uses Broadcom multi‑signal chip capability, requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and Internet, and promises an open source-style release on Git and signup at flamingognss.com.
