Another option to get more precise positioning is to switch from GPS to Galileo.

Galileo generally offers better civilian accuracy than GPS because it uses modern signal structures with better resistance to multipath and interference and provides dual-frequency signals (E1 + E5) to all users, which mitigates ionospheric errors.

most software now uses multiple GNSS at the same time?

Usually cheaper GPS modules only do one band (L1), though. But using multiple constellations still helps a lot.

Yeah, according to the 'GPS Test' Android app my phone is picking up and using GNSS signals from GPS, Galileo, GLOSNAS, and Beidou sats.
