Description

There is the possibility that the NavSatStatus message is being generated from Gazebo, in that case, there might be no "reference" constellation to set, so an option to set "simulated constellation" should be added, either as an extra boolean or as a bit for the service field.

Start by locating the NavSatStatus message definition and reviewing how its service field currently represents constellation information. Investigate the Gazebo-generated case and determine whether a separate boolean or a service-field bit is appropriate; done means the interface choice, semantics, and compatibility impact are agreed.
