Hi Mauro, 2010/5/27 Mauro Ugarte A <[email protected]>: > 1- First of all, in Chile there is nothing like a GPS reference station > network providing corrections on NRTK/NTRIP, which we could rely on.

I checked here http://www.igs-ip.net/home and it seems that CONZ station data can be accessed via NTRIP: IP: www.igs-ip.net Port: 2101 User & pass: you have to register here http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/registeruser This is the source table line for CONZ: STR;CONZ0;Concepcion-TIGO;RTCM 3.0;1004(1),1006(15),1008(15),1012(1),1019,1020,1033(15);2;GPS+GLO;IGS;CHL;-36.84;286.98;0;0;LEICA GRX1200GGPRO;none;B;N;3600;BKG It already has all the messages you could want, and if it is not located where you need it to be, at least you can use it for some initial testing! > 1- Should we buy a RTK capable reference station module, that outputs > RTCM-RTK messages to use them as an input to rtklib/gogps?

Is all this possible or am i missing something? That is right, you can do it either ways: buy a module with RTCM output or construct RTCM once you got raw data. Obviously the second option requires much more work and trial&error. > 2- Do you know alternatives to LEA-4T, at low cost, that seems to you that > should stay around at least a couple of years and output raw data which we > can feed (or convert to feed) to rtklib/gogps?.

Do you really need 10Hz for pedestrian rovers? If you mean for broadcasting RTCM, permanent stations I know about broadcast at 1 Hz. As for firmware bugs, they can happen with everything... let's hope u-blox people learned from 5T mistakes and that 6T will be better ;) Interesting project, anyway! Please keep us updated.
