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 based on data received at a facility using a computer readable medium or at a vehicle telematics unit from the one or more GNSS satellites;
(b) receiving at the facility using a computer readable medium or a vehicle telematics unit at least one of GNSS almanac data or space-based augmentation system (SBAS) data for the satellites servicing the predefined area;
(c) determining at the facility using a computer readable medium the service quality 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 service quality of the GNSS satellites.

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

10. A method of processing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, the steps comprising:
-
(a) identifying one or more GNSS satellites servicing a predefined area based on data received at a facility using a computer readable medium or at a vehicle telematics unit from the one or more GNSS satellites; (b) receiving at the facility using a computer readable medium or from the vehicle telematics unit space-based augmentation system (SBAS) data that indicates the health of the servicing GNSS satellites; (c) segmenting the predefined area into two or more sections at the facility using a computer readable medium; (d) classifying each section with a performance rating at the facility using a computer readable medium based on the SBAS data; and (e) displaying a map that depicts the sections and the predefined area. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of processing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, the steps comprising:
-
(a) detecting one or more GNSS satellites available at a particular location based on data received at a facility using a computer readable medium or at a vehicle telematics unit from the one or more GNSS satellites; (b) receiving space-based augmentation system (SBAS) data for the available GNSS satellites at a facility using a computer readable medium; (c) determining the service quality of the available GNSS satellites at the facility using a computer readable medium using error data for the GNSS satellites included in the received SBAS data; (d) classifying the location with a performance rating based on the determined service quality at a facility using a computer readable medium; and (e) identifying the particular location on a map display using the performance rating. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
