  2. Real-time kinematic positioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_kinematic...

    A surveyor uses a GNSS receiver with an RTK solution to accurately locate a parking stripe for a topographic survey. Real-time kinematic positioning (RTK) is the application of surveying to correct for common errors in current satellite navigation (GNSS) systems. [1]

  3. StarFire (navigation system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarFire_(navigation_system)

    StarFire is a wide-area differential GPS developed by John Deere's NavCom and precision farming groups. StarFire broadcasts additional "correction information" over satellite L-band frequencies around the world, allowing a StarFire-equipped receiver to produce position measurements accurate to well under one meter, with typical accuracy over a 24-hour period being under 4.5 cm. StarFire is ...

  4. GNSS applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_applications

    More expensive GNSS compass systems use three antennas in a triangle to get three separate readings with respect to each satellite. A GNSS compass is not subject to magnetic declination as a magnetic compass is and does not need to be reset periodically like a gyrocompass. It is, however, subject to multipath effects.

  5. Satellite navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation

    GNSS-2 is the second generation of systems that independently provide a full civilian satellite navigation system, exemplified by the European Galileo positioning system. [5] These systems will provide the accuracy and integrity monitoring necessary for civil navigation; including aircraft.

  6. Indoor positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_positioning_system

    The U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and other similar Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are generally not suitable to establish indoor locations, since microwaves will be attenuated and scattered by roofs, walls and other objects. However, in order to make the positioning signals become ubiquitous, integration between GPS and ...

  7. Precise Point Positioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precise_Point_Positioning

    Precise positioning is increasingly used in the fields including robotics, autonomous navigation, agriculture, construction, and mining. [2]The major weaknesses of PPP, compared with conventional consumer GNSS methods, are that it takes more processing power, it requires an outside ephemeris correction stream, and it takes some time (up to tens of minutes) to converge to full accuracy.

  8. GPS in the earthmoving industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_in_the_Earthmoving...

    If the site does not have a base station, indicate only systems can just use satellite information, however, the accuracy is usually in the one to two meter range.Utilizing a base station allows for site specific corrections to be transmitted to the machine, increasing the accuracy through Real Time Kinematics [5] (RTK). Site specific ...

  9. Satellite navigation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_device

    Vehicle navigation on a personal navigation assistant Garmin eTrex10 edition handheld. A satellite navigation device or satnav device, also known as a satellite navigation receiver or satnav receiver or simply a GPS device, is a user equipment that uses satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) or similar global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
