The accuracy for civilian use is four to five meters but for US military use the accuracy is 100%

What made gps better?
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.
Is gps accuracy affected by tectonic plate movement?
No. GPS accuracy is in the satellites it uses that orbit about 11,000 miles above Earth.There are super ground stations that keep all the satellites precise, but if they move due to an earthquake, any one of them can be recalibrated. Of course, the system of ground stations are located in areas with few earthquakes, to begin with.
What one what words means the degree to which a measurement is precise and reliable is it variable or accuracy or parameter or constant?
-- None of those words relates to "precise". -- "Accuracy" relates to "reliable". -- "Precision" and "accuracy" are two different things. -- "Precise" does not mean "reliable".
Which term describes how close measurements are to each other?
Generally, this term is called ACCURACY.
What does WAAS do in a GPS system?
The WAAS systems improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability in a GPS system.The WAAS specification requires the system detect errors in the GPS
How can the accuracy of a gps system be improved when more precise info is needed?
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?
Is GPS a reliable way to see where you am in the world?
It depends on the accuracy of your GPS. An accurate GPS can give you the exact coordinates of your location in the world. For the most part, the higher the cost of a GPS, the more accurate it is.
What is the definition of the word precise?
If you mean precise. It means to be exact. marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail
What does precise?
Accurate, detailed.Marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail.
What Are Precise Words?
They are marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail
How can the accuracy of the gps system be improved?
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.
Does the time of day effect the accuracy of a GPS system?
No it does not. GPS satellites are geosynchronous, so they are in the same place 24 hours a day.
