[FOSS-GPS] Accurate timestamp in rtkpost

Hi David,

Thanks for your answers. Overall, my application is following: I'm recording
video at 30 fps with an iPhone and simultaneously recording GPS data using
the Topcon receiver while driving. My end goal is to have accurate location
tag for every frame in the video. Now I can do that by matching timestamp of
the video frame to the timestamp of TopCon gps location. However, I can
visually see that the location of the video frame is not same as the
location from timestamp matching. It's possible that the iPhone timestamp
will not perfectly align with the GPS time, but I expect that it should
align within few milliseconds as the network time and actual GPS time should
be close enough. 

As you said earlier, the GPS receiver reports in actual seconds and that is
the case for my data too. However, I thought during the solution I will get
accurate timestamp. But as I described above, visually things are not
matching. So is it possible that rtkpost is just reporting the receiver
timestamp, and not attempting to produce accurate solution for time from the
GPS data. 

I tried recording at 5 Hz also, and the topcon data in rinex file is
rounded. Below is some data from both RINEX observation file and produced
solution.
