Hi

I believe the *code* is corrected, but the carrier frequency is not. Without 
correction it's plenty close enough for any receiver that can handle a normal 
GPS sat. The intended "product" is the code rather than the carrier. Even if 
you tried to correct for doppler, it would only work for a single point. Your 
velocity to every place else would be either to fast or to slow for the 
correction (the motion is in 3 dimensions …).
