Real Time Corrections

for GNSS Receivers

Karyn Nolan and Erik Anderson

Which tool do you use?

Different Applications Require Different Tools

Accuracy varies with receivers -- read the specs!

Survey (cm)

Mapping (10cm-5m)

Accuracy

Autonomous GNSS 10-15m horizontal

Differential GNSS - MGIS 0.1 - 5m horizontal (depending on

equipment & correction source)

“Fixed” Baseline GNSS - Survey 1-3 cm

Optical Total Station <1 cm

Real Time Correction Sources Autonomous

– 10 m with uncorrected GPS

Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) – 2-4 m in Hawaii– WAAS - US– EGNOS - Europe– MSAS – Japan– GAGAN - India
