GPS Position Accuracy

Position accuracy obtained with GPS observations in general will depend on several factors namely:

  • Quality GPS Receiver
  • Number of satellites
  • Old observations
  • positioning methods used (absolute and differential positioning, Kinematic, etc.)
  • Data Processing Strategy (Rial time & post processing, etc.)
Broad spectrum position accuracy provided by GPS is one of the beauty of the GPS, because GPS users have the flexibility in carrying out position determination in accordance with the required level of accuracy in an optimal and efficient (both time and cost). Therefore there is no doubt that GPS can serve quite a lot of applications, with diverse demands accuracy.
