Pixel 9a GPS dual band ?

Hi to all,

In the marketing documentations of various sources, the Pixel 9a GPS is advertised as "dual band L1 L5...".

In the real word, my Pixel 9a did never show any L5 band GPS, only L1 band is shown in GPSTEST or other GPS apps for android.

Did you notice any L5 band on yours ? (I'm in France/Europe and the same applies to the Galileo satellites that only display E1 bands)

As well as precision of the signal (that is marked like 0,5 m in GPSTEST but is offset about 5 meters in the actual map).

I also have the feeling that the position is more consistent when "Improved accuracy" parameter is "Off" in Android Settings.

Any comments ?
