About:
Libswiftnav is a C library that provides essential GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) functionalities, including signal processing, coordinate transformations, and algorithms for precise positioning. It serves as a foundational component for building high-precision GNSS receivers and related applications, offering robust and efficient implementations for satellite navigation tasks.

Key Features:

Core GNSS algorithms and signal processing
Coordinate system transformations
Lightweight C implementation for embedded systems
Open-source and extensible architecture

Use Cases:

Developing firmware for GNSS receivers
Implementing high-precision positioning in robotics
Creating simulation tools for satellite navigation

Alternatives:

RTKLIB – RTKLIB is a more comprehensive, full-featured package for GNSS positioning, while Libswiftnav provides a more focused, embeddable library core.
