> I do wonder how many of these are supported by common hardware like mobile phones, anybody have a pointer to a compatibility list?

iPhone X specs list "GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS" [1]. I'm pretty sure they've supported multiple GNSS systems for a few generations.

I know I've seen several GNSS modules from u-blox that support multiple GNSS systems as well. One example, NEO-M8, supports "BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS / QZSS." [2]

I know I've also seen several cheap GPS modules that are GPS-only, so multiple GNSS support isn't ubiquitous, but it's probably ahead of IPv6 adoption.
