Would these satellites be available anywhere in the world? If it’s supported by the GPS chip, why wouldn’t RICOH have implemented it from the beginning? Is there some type of licensing cost? Or, is it technology implementation?
I have an Android Google Pixel 4a. I can try compare the GPS satellite detection of my Google Pixel 4a versus the THETA X and post the pictures here.
Would that be a fair comparison?

I was looking at the camera spec and I can’t find mention of supporting European Galileo and Beidou.
Maybe a software vendor needs to request this support for a specific application?
These were the specifications listed.
GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, SBAS(WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN), A-GPS
