Experts predict
that, within 10 to 20 years, many of the daily electronic products
we buy will come equipped with satellite navigational equipment.
Vehicles of all kinds, laptop computers and mobile phones will
carry GPS (Global Satellite Positioning) receivers as a matter of
course.
Nottingham University's Institute of
Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (IESSG) has been at the
leading edge of satellite navigation research since its
establishment. Its latest development in this field is GRINGO - GPS
RINEX Generator; a programme developed to analyse the full range of
data from low budget GPS (Global Satellite Positioning) receivers,
increasing their degree of accuracy from metres to centimetres and
bringing the cost of accurate satellite navigational systems
crashing down.
