      I asked and the developers replied that the best mode for accuracy is asked and they do not ask for a specific location provider which means that it will use what the phone is capable of.

          @jthomi Thank you again! What you done its appreciated. Same conclusion, line of watch seems more accurate. One thing that i didn’t understand, did you use in watch Navstar+Glonass ou just one?

          There is a limitation on system for smartphones. We never can select in which system we want to make a registry. This is of course a real problem to compare. If we get satellites with types of different precision, how a OS make a read? From average?

          Even by now it’s not possible in watches for example select Glonass alone.

          Anyone with another smartphone brand?

                How can you select only one system in the iPhone?

                  My phone Samsung Galaxy S7 is not compatible Galileo but pretty sure the settings are the same for S8 & S9.
                  As you can see Samsung lets you choose the accuracy level you want.

                  Perhaps S8/S9 owners could confirm what they have in terms of location accuracy setting.

                    Guys there is no setting to choose a satellite system from the phone!
                    Don’t worry about that.

                    Only devs can select that if they want.

                      Not on the phone yes, but on the watch I can switch Glonass on and off.
