The NavSatStatus message has a field for status, with 4 options: No fix, fix, fix with satellite augmentation, fix with ground-based augmentation. No fix and fix make sense, but what is the meaning of the field with augmentation? Notably, any Navsat/GNSS system would be satellite augmented, wouldn't it? Does ground-based augmentation refer to RTK?

I have a rosservice that takes a string as an argument. That string may be an integer (or rather, the string representation of an integer). However, when I try to call the service with the number, it tries to pass it as a number, which fails. I've tried putting the number in quotes, but that doesn't change anything. I think it has to do with the rosservice command line utility using yaml to parse the command.

Is there any good solution or workaround?
