- RTK technology
- GPS devices provide a false sense of accuracy due to various factors like inertial corrections and errors in measurements
- For general use, most people do not require high accuracy (e.g. 1m, 0.1m, or 1cm)
- Civilian GPS precision is around 30m, but can be improved with techniques like Dual Frequency L1+L2 and DGPS
- Surveyors use specialized GPS equipment for high accuracy, leveraging continuous error correction from nearby receivers
- RTK (Real Time Kinematic) is a real-time GPS enhancement for precise positioning, commonly used in surveying
