Both Galileo and the GPS use the International

their own infrastructure.
Although the Galileo and GPS realizations of the ITRS and TAI will
be
independent, they should match to within a resolution of a few
centimeters or nanoseconds respectively, and so should be
effectively
interchangeable for most low-resolution use.
