Abstract: Three solutions are derived for the network of permanent stations located in the Northern Europe: from processing observations of only GPS satellites, only GLONASS satellites, and from the combined processing of observations of GPS and GLONASS satellites. From the comparison of repeatabilities of the obtained coordinates of GPS/GLONASS stations and determined outer RMS values it is concluded that, as for now, the GLONASS solution is less precise than GPS one and the inclusion of GLONASS satellites in the processing of observation data for stations located in this region do not improve the coordinate estimation precision.
