Activity: How to find a position using GPS

The trick lies in the fact that GPS satellites are always sending out radio signals. In GPS positioning the rate is how fast the radio signal travels, which is equal to the speed of light (299,792,458 meters per second). Time is determined by how long it takes for a signal to travel from the GPS satellite to a GPS receiver on earth.

RTK Networks – What, Why, Where?

RTK Networks (cont.) 4. RTK Network infrastructure (hardware and software) is much more complex than an RTK Cluster. Reference station data is processed by one or more central servers before being distributed to users. 5. Communications to the rovers are completely different. RTK Clusters typically use UHF/VHF/Spread spectrum radio technology. RTK

used for navigation. WARNING: The altitude calculated by GNS 430 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircraft.
