Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GPS accuracy

[Mario Pisa]

Hi,

 

GARMIN only send data in WGS84 independently of the configuration what you put in settings device.
 

Best regards,

Did u check Pacc, Sacc, NumSV in messages or just GPS part in the GCS?

NubSV stands for satellite numbers. Generally u must have more than 4 satellite to get a good

This sounds fairly systematic - so one thing to check is the DATUM - are both receivers using WGS84 or, even better, the local DATUM ?

Also - do know that for some parts of the world (e.g. the Netherlands) - the geo-correction of google is incredibly poor - yielding 100's of meters delta's at sea level due to both datum-errors and conversion errors. (e.g. the WGS84 coordinate given for a pixel in the image is a) very far from the actual coordinate of that pixel projected onto the geoid used and b) very far from a WGS84 measurement with a proper GPS at that location relative to the datum.).

Thanks,
