[FOSS-GPS] High accuracy positioning with low cost GPS devices:a FOSS project

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Does these projects have anything in common with the ESA SISNET project? See

Eugenio,

  Interesting stuff!  I've experimented with Antonio Tabernero Galan's GAR2RNX to get sub-meter results with a $100 Garmin GPS receiver. See http://lists.burri.to/pipermail/geowanking/2007-August/004314.html for more info.

And in the spirit of Open source, you might give your Matlab code a try in Octave (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index.html)

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
