| #325005 | What is the precision I can expected with the regular GPS receiver such as manufactured by for instance, Garmin ? |
| This depends on the model you are going to buy, to be more specific, it depends on the type of receiver the GPS contains. If the GPS has a 8 channel receiver, you can expect a precision of 10..20 meters, with a 12 channel receiver this is 5..15 meters. To get the best results, you should b ... | |

| #325010 | Is it possible to get centimetre precision using a GPS system ? |
| Yes this is possible, but isn't cheap. In order to get this precision, you need a RTK receiver and your own or a subscription to a public RTK base station.If you are looking for an affordable solution, you have to look for a GPS with WAAS or EGNOS support, or a DGPS that has a built-in MSK receive ... | |

| #115040 | Can I use your GPS SDK with an USB GPS ? |
| Sure, some USB devices come with an USB to serial driver which emulates a serial port. To find out what serial port has to be used, just start the demo applications, and have a look which serial ports are detected. If there are multiple ports, you can have a look at the device manager from the c ... | |

| #115070 | What is the precision of the toolkit when reading positions from NMEA strings ? |
| The toolkit processes up to 5 digits, like the example below when parsing NMEA data, which is a precision of 6 centimeters. If your device outputs less digits, of course it will be less precise, 3 digits should suffice when using GPS, for RTK/DGPS 5 digits are recommended. $GPRMC,213402, ... | |

| #115005 | Can i use the GPS time to synchronize the time of my computer ? |
| Yes you can, but it is not as precise as when using a time server, there is always a delay in the time between the GPS receiver sends the time over the serial port, and when it is fully retrieved and decoded by the PC, so there may be an error which can be as high as one second. ... | |
