BBC: Galileo sat-nav system still without service
Europe's satellite-navigation system, Galileo, remains offline.
The network suffered an outage on Friday due to what has been described as a "technical incident related to its ground infrastructure".
Engineers worked around the clock over the weekend but there is no update yet on when the service will resume.
The problem means all receivers, such as the latest smartphone models, will not be picking up any useable timing or positional information.
These devices will be relying instead on the data coming from the American Global Positioning System (GPS).
