Real-Time Differential GPS may be approached in several ways
While you can get more accurate fixes from such a system, it requires a number of additional, time-consuming steps, after data collection. Once you know the source of the differential corrections file, you have to get it, load it onto your computer, and execute software to produce the final corrected file. Wouldn’t it be nice if the GPS tracker simply gave accurate positions at the time you took the data? Further, there are some applications in which there simply isn’t time to postprocess GPS fixes–bringing a ship into a narrow harbor, for one example. Well, actually there is a way to provide instantaneous, accurate fixes: Real-Time Differential GPS. Getting Corrections for GPS Measurements – Right Now! Real-Time Differential GPS (RDGPS) may be approached in several ways: • The user can set up a base station over a known point and arrange for transmission of a radio signal from the base station to roving receivers. • The user’s GPS Tracking Device ...
