What's your concern with Galileo? Many experts consider it to be the best GNSS currently available:[1]

> The US constellation isn’t as accurate as the newer networks, said Roberts, the Sydney-based professor. “It used to be GPS was out in front,” he said. Now, though, the EU’s Galileo is in the lead, with China’s BeiDou close behind, he said.

Thanks for backing up your point with a link. I agree that Galileo is more accurate than the much older GPS system. On the other hand, the GPS system became fully operational in 1995 as far as I understand, and the Galileo system is yet to be fully operational almost a decade after the original target date.
