Mapy.cz is a navigation app from the Czech Republic. They offer apps for Android, iOS and AppGallery and can calculate routes for car, bike, public transportation and by foot. Mapy.cz is a product of the Czech internet company Seznam.cz.

komoot is a German navigation service. They focus heavily on outdoor sports with by allowing you to create custom routs and including lots of hiking / biking trails which are not available in other services.

OsmAnd is a navigation app that uses the open data map OpenStreetMaps and works offline. The app is available on Android and iOS. On top of the main app, they offer multiple apps for special purposes like skiing or sea maps.

In 2022, the IWT sector experienced an economic recession, with a significant decrease in cargo transport volumes across all segments, except for coal, which saw a growth rate of +10.6%. The war in Ukraine, coupled with the energy crisis, led to a slowdown in demand for various cargo segments, resulting in reduced transport of metals, construction materials, containers, and agrifood products.

Low water levels in July and August 2022 further strained the industry, leading to a rise in freight rates by an average of +42.5% compared to the previous year. The report also outlines the state of the inland navigation fleet, noting a slight increase in innovative vessels aimed at reducing emissions.

Passenger transport exhibited a recovery from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in river cruises, showing a rebound in 2022 compared to 2021. However, newbuilding activity for river cruises remained slow due to inflationary tendencies and increased shipbuilding costs.

Looking forward, the report suggests a favourable outlook for cargo transport from 2024 onwards, but uncertainty prevails in 2023 due to volatile conditions stemming from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ensuing energy crisis. The demand for river cruises is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, although the outlook for new cruise vessel construction remains uncertain.

The European Code for inland waterways (CEVNI) contains a set of harmonized rules for inland navigation providing model rules for national and international legislation and relate to rules of the road, signalling on inland waterways, night and day time marking of vessels as well as waterway signs and marking. The Code is complemented by the regional and national special requirements, which are tailored to the specific navigational conditions of a particular waterway.

The Guidelines for Waterway Signs and Marking (SIGNI) establish homogeneous rules for waterway signs and marking as well as for their visibility and installation. This instrument is complemented by Guidelines for Waterway Signs and Marking - Resolution No. 59.

The current Galileo system consists of 28 satellites in all. All but two of these are positioned in three circular Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) planes at 23 222 km altitude above the Earth, and at an inclination of the orbital planes of 56 degrees to the equator. The remaining pair were placed in incorrect orbits by a Soyuz launcher error, and are currently employed for search and rescue but not as operational members of the constellation.

Galileo navigation signals provide good coverage even at latitudes up to 75 degrees north, which corresponds to Norway's North Cape - the most northerly tip of Europe - and beyond. The large number of satellites together with the carefully-optimised constellation design, plus the planned availability of three active spare satellites per orbital plane, should ensure that the loss of one satellite should have no discernible effect on the user.

Two Galileo Control Centres (GCCs) have been implemented on European ground to provide for the control of the satellites and to perform the navigation mission management. The data provided by a global network of Galileo Sensor Stations (GSSs) are sent to the Galileo Control Centres through a redundant communications network. The GCCs use the data from the Sensor Stations to compute the integrity information and to synchronise the time signal of all satellites with the ground station clocks. The exchange of the data between the Control Centres and the satellites is performed through up-link stations.

As a further feature, Galileo is providing a global Search and Rescue (SAR) function, based on the operational Cospas-Sarsat system. Satellites are therefore equipped with a transponder, which is able to transfer the distress signals from the user transmitters to regional rescue co-ordination centres, which will then initiate the rescue operation.

At the same time, the system will send a response signal to the user, informing him that his situation has been detected and that help is on the way. This latter feature is new and is considered a major upgrade compared to the existing system, which does not provide user feedback.

Experimental satellites GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B were launched in 2005 and 2008 respectively, serving to test critical Galileo technologies, while also the securing of the Galileo frequencies within the International Telecommunications Union.

Over the course of the test period, scientific instruments also measured various aspects of the space environment around the orbital plane, in particular the level of radiation, which is greater than in low Earth or geostationary orbits.

So, AT&T costs to use phones in Europe seem pretty high. We will have wifi at hotels in the evening, but need mapping tool for driving rental car and for walking tours. What kind of advice do you all have for the least costly way to have access to GPS on phones? Thx. PS: Please pretend you are speaking to a toddler with your responses because I am technologically challenged. :) THANKS

Worth noting: GPS is not the internet. Each technology actually works independently of the other, though some things (like phones) work better when used together. GPS is satellite-based. For "apps" on your phone, you need some connectivity (or to plan ahead, see below)

You know, you could simply do without either. Paper maps and basic navigation skills. Somehow, people have managed to travel for thousands of years before phones or GPS existed. Many still do. While GPS and internet connectivity is certainly handy, it is possible to live without it.

Some folks make do with phone or tablet based mapping/naviagtion apps, just squatting on free wifi for connectivity. It's possible, but at least in my experience, connectivity often (usually) fails right when you really "need" it.

You could download maps on your device(s) before you leave. This works for some folks (with some limitations). You would not have access to the internet except for those times when you could find free wifi, but maybe you don't really "need" that (or want to pay for it).
