1. A method of processing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, the steps comprising:
- (a) identifying one or more GNSS satellites servicing a predefined area;
(b) receiving at least one of GNSS almanac data or space-based augmentation system (SBAS) data for the satellites servicing the predefined area;
(c) determining the performance of the GNSS satellites servicing the predefined area using the almanac data or SBAS data; and
(d) applying a performance rating to the predefined area based on the performance of the GNSS satellites.
