How is DGPS always better? In my professional use of GPS and DGPS for locating
points, I have found that unless you are very close to the DGPS transmitter
[<~10Km in my case using an SCA-based system] you are better off without it.
Without SA, DGPS is not necessarily an improvement. Read my post again. I didn't
flame anybody. I said I wanted to hear what he was working on. Now if you want
Ron to come in behind you, that's another story.
