[Colin] and [Fergus] have been working with GPS for years now, and like most builders of really cool things, they’re often limited by the precision of off-the-shelf GPS units. While a GPS receiver is ...

For quite some time, I’ve been writing in GPS World magazine and speaking at conferences about the declining prices of high-precision GNSS receivers and how the cost of high-precision data (especially ...

JACQUES-BÉNIGNE BOSSUET, the 17th century French bishop and pulpit orator, once said “Every error is truth abused.” He was referring to man’s foibles, of ...

Even though GPS revolutionized the way we travel, 95 percent of the time it's only accurate within 10 to 50 feet - an inaccuracy that can sometimes prove to be a problem. But researchers have now ...

NASA’s laser retroreflector arrays aboard GPS III satellites enhance positioning accuracy for Earth navigation and scientific measurements by reflecting laser signals back to ground stations.

As sailors in the 17th century learned the hard way, having an accurate clock for navigation is pointless if it is too delicate to carry aboard ship. The same goes for the super accurate optical ...

Researchers have developed a new system which improves the ability of a GPS to determine a vehicle's position as compared to that of conventional GPS devices by up to 90 percent, and which can be ...
