The easiest way is differential GPS like surveyors use. Add an artificial reference satellite on ground with receiver and calculates errors between its known location and GPS location. This can do mm accuracy even with just civilian CA code.
GPS accuracy greatly improved when a new feature called WAAS (wide area agumentation system) was built in. It is used with GPS systems in the ground to make accuracy better by sending accuracy to a main station, which is then routed to your GPS.
You people honestly think I'm going to answer that question? If so, the you need to look it up somewhere else but here. Because I'm keeping my mouth shut!! Did that answer your question?

No it does not. GPS satellites are geosynchronous, so they are in the same place 24 hours a day.
GPS readings are generally accurate within a range of 3-15 meters under normal circumstances. Factors such as satellite signal blockage, atmospheric conditions, and device limitations can affect the accuracy of GPS readings. However, advancements in technology have improved the accuracy of GPS readings in recent years.
Newer Garmin GPS receiver WAAS (Wide area augmentation system) capability can improve accuracy, averaging less than three meters. No additional equipment or fees to take advantage of WAAS. Users can also get a better differential GPS (DGPS), to correct an average of three to five meters accuracy of GPS signals within range. To get the corrected signal, users must be out by the differential GPS beacon receiver and beacon antenna. Now we use the following GPS receiver for our bus railway system.
DGPS is one of two widely used methods to augment the accuracy of the GPS. Most GPS chips will follow the NMEA standard so that is usually the preferred way of parsing both GPS and DGPS data. Check out the related links for a link to the NMEA GPS standard.
GPS uses a coordinate system called WGS84, which stands for World Geodetic System 1984. This system uses latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint locations on Earth with high accuracy.
The Department of Defense (DoD) developed the Global Positioning System (GPS) primarily to enhance military navigation and operations. By providing precise location and timing information, GPS improved the accuracy of weapons systems, troop movements, and overall situational awareness. The system was later made available for civilian use, revolutionizing navigation and mapping across various sectors. Ultimately, GPS has become a critical infrastructure that supports both military and civilian applications globally.
Yes, there are currently multiple GPS satellites in orbit that provide positioning, navigation, and timing services globally. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is maintained by the United States and typically consists of around 30 operational satellites, ensuring that at least four satellites are visible from any point on Earth at any time. These satellites transmit signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate precise locations. The system is continuously being updated and improved to enhance accuracy and reliability.
