ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

EGNOS

EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is like a special helper for GPS (Global Positioning System).

GPS is like a map that helps us find our way, like when we want to go to the park or the mall. But sometimes GPS can make mistakes, like if we're inside a building or if there are tall buildings around us that block the signal from the satellites that GPS uses to know where we are.

EGNOS is like a super smart friend that helps GPS be more accurate and reliable. It sends extra information to the GPS satellites, like correcting any mistakes that they might make, so that they can give us the right directions.

EGNOS is like having a grown-up who always knows where we are and can help us get where we need to go, even if GPS gets a little confused.
