Software: RTKlib 2.4.2 Hardware: Base - NovAtel SuperStar II (SSII) Rover - U-Blox NEO-6T (USB) However, if you have a base station then you should try the following: 1) start up RTKnavi on the base station computer and run the PPPstatic for 12-24 hours. Then take the final coordinates and write them down. (dont move your base station antenna as you have now determined the location of your base) Did this using the SSII. 2) run strsvr.exe on the base station computer. set the input as you would for rtknavi. then set the output as TCPserver and put in a random port number. I used 5000. figure out the IP of your base station computer. Did this as well, and STRSRV is streaming data from the SSII. 3) plug your rover into your rover computer. start up RTKnavi on your rover computer. set up the rover for a Single solution. Also turn on the base station and select TCPclient as the input type. Then for the option add the ip of your base station computer and the port you set. Did this and.... 4) go into the options and under the "Positions" Tab. The lower half is where you can input the coordinates of your base station. If you are using degrees and seconds then use the "Lat/Lon/Height (deg/m)" or if you have degrees that are decimal then use the "Lat/Lon/Height (dms/m)" and the others are rather self explanatory. You dont need to mess with the antenna Type. Noticed that the area for the base station coordinates was grayed out. So I selected another solution option and filled in the base station coordinates, then switched back to the single solution option. 5) Start it up and see how it works. I see both the rover and base lights flashing dark/light green, but the resulting solution is all over the place. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

The military or the civil L2C? I see from http://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/modernization/civilsignals/ that US Air Force started daily updates on L2C and L5 as of 31.12.2014.

I use MGEX observation (*.yyo) and navigation data (specifically combined, *.yyp), as well as MGEX precise orbit and clock products (*.sp3 and *.clk) in order to estimate the position of some MGEX stations. First, I use only the GPS system and get a solution, named A (GPS-only solution). Then, I include the GLONASS system in the data processing (by ticking it in Options/Setting1) and get a solution, named B (GPS + GLO solution). My options in the data processing are: Options / Setting1 : Positioning mode: PPP static, Filter type: Forward, Ionosphere correction: Iono-free LC, Troposphere Correction: Estimate ZTD, Satellite Ephemeris/Clock: Precise, all the corrections applied (i.e. Sat PCV, Rec PCV, etc.) I have done the same processing for many stations, and my solutions A and B are always the same, there is not even a small improvement in the convergence period. But the weird thing is that when I am trying to see the number of visible satellites, it is always the same. My 24-hour observation data files contain a lot of GLONASS satellites, so an increase in the total number of satellites should exist, right ? Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong, or whether a bug exists in the software ? Thank you in advance, Dimitrios V.

I'm happy to hear you enjoy FoxtrotGPS, but hearing that it doesn't `just work' on the Ubuntu phone makes my heart sink a little; I thought that they had some sort of X11/Mir adapter for `legacy' applications--don't they? Though, it looks like the latest release of the graphics toolkit that we use, GTK+, apparently has support for Mir in the latest release: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GTK-3.16-Toolkit-Released We presumably just need to migrate FoxtrotGPS from Gtk+ 2 to GTK+ 3 (I'm guessing--I don't know if there's actually something else required to make something run on Ubuntu phones). It's probably a substantial undertaking to port to the new GTK+ API, and nobody's started yet, but I'm guessing it's something we'll need to do at some point (how long is GTK+ 2.x going to survive?). Help would be quite welcome. If I understand correctly, the first task is probably to convert the UI from libglade to GTK+'s UiBuilder system. Is this something that you could help with? :) -- "Don't be afraid to ask (?f.((?x.xx) (?r.f(rr))))."

I owned this 4 days ago, because it's a phone running a real UNIX (Ubuntu) and not this Android or iOs stuff. I found that foxtrottGPS in the Ubuntu-phone aoo store is missing and the other OSM apps are not doing what I want/need, or what I'm used to use with foxtrotGPS. I do not know anything about the new MIR display server and even less about some X11/MIR interface libs. I can only offer test efforts, when some port of foxtrotGPS to MIR is coming up. More is outside my knowledge. Last time when I have build some graphic stuff, it was with Xt and with OSF/Motif :-) Thx matthias -- Matthias Apitz, guru at unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-170-4527211 "Wenn der Mensch von den Umst?nden gebildet wird, so mu? man die Umst?nde menschlich bilden."
