The elastic limit to Real Time Kinematic GPS

[robert reese]

I found the information regarding Roger Frank's empirical testing of RTK limitations, accuracies and expectations quite interesting and very thorough.

To see a PDF file of Mr. Frank's presentation at the last CLSA-NALS joint conference in Las Vegas, go to http://californiasurveyors.org, click on the 2004 Conference icon in the upper right hand corner, and then select "Real-Time Kinematic GPS" from the list of available documents to download.

Who out there is using long-distance RTK? now available with cell phone data links and CORS?

Below find the link to the pdf slideshow presented by Roger Frank at the CLSA Conference in Las Vegas, attempting to educate the normal surveyors amongst us who may take the vendor claims at face value. Here is a rigorous test of the manufacturer’s accuracy specifications coupled with the elements found in every day surveying situations and the results which are surprising.
