- 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.
