All right, flame me for inconsistency, flame me for topic trespass, but I couldn't resist Just One More message on DGPS. (This will be the last one. Really. I mean it. Trust me.) From a two-page ad by Pinpoint, "a strategic alliance between Magnavox Electronic Systems Company and CUE Network Corporation." In GPS World, February, 1993, pp.14-15. ********************************************************************* "The message is that GPS just can't give you the pinpoint accuracy you need. "That is, not without a little help. "Which is why we launched Pinpoint(TM), a new precise position service that transmits GPS error correction signals over 300 powerful FM radio stations nationwide. Pinpoint RTL subscribers enjoy real-time accuracies of 1 to 5 meters at monthly subscription rates that are incredibly low; Pinpoint RTS subscribers benefit from 10 to 20 meter accuracies at rates that are too embarrassing to mention... "All you do is connect a pager-like Pinpoint receiver to your RTCM-ready GPS equipment and transmitted corrections give you instant, real-time positioning results. "Where? Start with the top 50 metropolitan areas where 90 percent of the population lives. Then along most interstate highways in the U.S... "It's simple. It's accurate. And it's here now." *********************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of Skunk Works Digest V2 #82 ******************************** To subscribe to skunk-works-digest, send the command: subscribe skunk-works-digest in the body of a message to "listserv@harbor.ecn.purdue.edu".
