Right. However, it computes the position of the *antenna*. So if you receiver is connected via a long antenna cable you have to compensate the signal delay on the cable. This can not be done automatically by the GPS receiver. For examples, for our GPS receivers the antenna can be installed up to 300 meters away from the receiver, and you can configure the antenna cable length in the receiver to compensate that delay.
