== Hardware vs. software GNSS receivers==
When comparing ''hardware'' vs ''software'' GNSS receivers, a number of pros and cons can be found for each approach:
* Hardware GNSS receivers are in general more efficient from the point of view of both computational load and power consumption since they have been designed in a highly specialized way with the only purpose of implementing the GNSS processing.
* Software GNSS receivers allow a huge flexibility: many features of the receiver can be modified just through software. This provides the receiver with adaptive capabilities, depending on the user's needs and working conditions. In addition, the receiver can be easily upgraded via software.<ref>[http://www.gpsworld.com/gnss-system/receiver-design/real-time-software-receivers-8812 Real-Time Software Receivers]{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, GPS World, September 1, 2009 by Pierre-André Farine, Marcel Baracchi-Frei, Grégoire Waelchli, Cyril Botteron</ref>
