[FOSS-GPS] Post-processing RINEX to simulate RTK

[Homan, Thomas]

Leave it to me to offer a statement that provides me the opportunity to insert my foot in my mouth! :-) I was remembering using one of our older receivers that was memory limited to 512M. We logged data 40 min before/after flight and had to clean it out each night before the next day's work or there were definite problems.

Hmm. For RTK I receive RXM-RAW and RXM-SFRB messages from my ublox
antaris 4 receiver. RXM-RAW messages take 8 + NSV * 24 bytes and 42
bytes.

Even if you use 20 Hz and assume that you see 15 satellites (clearly not
possible) you still only get 20 * (8 + 15 * 24 + 42) = 8200 bytes per
second. My 8 GB SDHC card that costs 13 EUR can thus store data for
about 11 days.
