I have happily used GPS Essentials for several years.

My latest phone (Galaxy S21 Ultra) can receive nav signals from the Galileo network, and some other apps seem to use them.  GPS Essentials does not.

Is there a setting I am missing? Is the capability on the list of things to add? Is there a reason why not?

Just curious. The apps that do use Galileo do not show better accuracy, so there may be no practical difference at all.

If your phone support it, both Galileo and BeiDou satellites should be automatically supported.

The sky view shows the satellite PRNs and the different systems have different ranges of PRNs: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24841398/android-diferentiation-between-gps-systems-navstar-glonass-beidou
