I'm pretty sure those GPS recievers that send out more frequent data, at say 2Hz or 5Hz are just interpolating. It is not more accurate. The GPS sats only send a frame once over 6 seconds. They send at higher rate so that the system using the GPS does not need to know how to dead reckon and can have decent results for simply using last reported position Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
