Subject: My very last message about DGPS

I said: 
     "DGPS seems sufficiently removed from the theme of skunk-works that 
this should probably be continued by email..." 
 
     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."
