Important notice: This official site provides general
information on the DGPS system in Canada and should not be used to determine
the system's operational status. Day to day DGPS operations and/or system
status affecting users are communicated through official Coast Guard
communication channels such as "NOTICES TO MARINERS" and/or "NOTICES TO
SHIPPING", as appropriate. Should you wish to report a service outage,
degradation or any other type of anomaly relating to DGPS please contact your
local Canadian Coast Guard, Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS)
Centre: DGPS Broadcast Standard for Marine NavigationThe Canadian Coast Guard Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) Broadcast Standard is a reference document which specifies the format, information content, modulation parameters, coverage area, and use of the signal which is broadcast from a network of Canadian Coast Guard operated marine radio beacons. This network is planned to primarily provide coverage to coastal areas, major Canadian waterways, Vessel Traffic Services zones and ports. It will also overlap US DGPS coverage of contiguous waters. This Standard also specifies the system performance which can be achieved with the use of proper DGPS user equipment. Key performance and functional elements essential for the user equipment suite are addressed. For questions or comments regarding the CCG DGPS Standard, please contact the CCG DGPS Office.
