It offers GPS users in Europe more accurate and reliably GPS positioning. Like WAAS, EGNOS focuses on improving the integrity and accuracy of autonomous GPS positioning primarily by modeling refraction caused by the ionosphere. Also, EGNOS was designed to be compatible with WAAS so your WAAS-enabled receiver will work with EGNOS just fine. 2007-07-30T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/312007/445336/eric_thumbnail.jpg http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/312007/445336null HTML http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+Newsletter+Archive/Survey-amp-Construction-Newsletter-July-2007/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/447461?ref=25 To address the needs of the engineering and scientific communities, ESA developed SISNeT, a method of distributing GPS corrections over the Internet without requiring line-of-sight visibility to the geostationary augmentation satellites. 2007-07-30T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/322007/447461null REMOTE http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+News/Dealer-Shuffle-continues/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/445315?ref=25 Long-time Leica GPS dealer Earl Dudley & Assoc. has teamed up with Topcon-acquired Hayes Instrument Co. to jointly serve seven southeastern US states. 2007-07-30T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/312007/445315null HTML http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+News/Agriculture-Guidance/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/445314?ref=25 The Envizio Pro is a touch-screen-based system that builds off of the Envizio Plus guidance console with a larger screen, dual application control, and a variable rate application control option. 2007-07-30T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/312007/445314null HTML http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+News/Hemisphere-GPSacute-Crescent-R100-in-Production-Su/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/441970?ref=25 Canada´s Hemisphere GPS said today that its Crescent R100 Series DGPS Receivers now support the company´s patented real-time kinematic (RTK) technology. 2007-07-17T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/292007/441970null HTML http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+News/Trimble-Debuts-Latest-GPS-Enabled-Handheld-PC/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/441969?ref=25 Trimble today introduced its Nomad series of rugged handheld computers, which come standard with Bluetooth technology and a range of options, including an integrated GPS receiver, a bar code scanner, a digital camera, and 802.11g (Wi Fi). 2007-07-17T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/292007/441969null HTML http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/Survey+%26+Construction+News/Leica-Geosystems-Intros-Leica-SurvCE/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/441506?ref=25 Leica Geosystems this week unveiled Leica SurvCE, which it describes as a complete data collection system for real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS stations. 2007-07-13T04:00:00Z http://sc.gpsworld.com/gpssc/data/articlestandard/gpssc/282007/441506null HTML
