GPS Tools and Techniques Workshop

High Country Inn 4051 4th Ave. Whitehorse, YK

  • I need to purchase a GPS system but don't know where to start!
  • I'm confused by manufacturer specifications!
  • What techniques are available and what accuracies are possible with today's GPS equipment?
  • Absolute vs relative accuracy?
  • Real-time vs post-processing?
  • How can I get the accuracy I want where I want it and when I want it?
  • Should I purchase a single or dual frequency receiver?
  • Do I really need an RTK system?
  • How can I verify my GPS system's accuracy?
  • How accurate is WAAS in Canada?
  • What is CDGPS? How does it work and how accurate is it?
  • What is NRCan's CSRS-PPP free online post-processing service?
  • How can I get the most accurate mean-sea-level heights using GPS?

For the answer to these questions and any many more about the use of GPS in Canada.
