This presentation will take a detailed look at how VRS works and how it is able to provide high accuracy real-time corrections to GPS users in the field. The presentation will be non-denominational and will focus on the theory of GPS errors and VRS corrections. Other real time correction sources will also be discussed and a look at some real world results will be presented. The presentation will also include a discussion on how and why GPS calculations contain errors and the implications of GPS accuracy, or lack thereof on decision making and the use of GPS positional data in a GIS database.

Presenters:
Isaiah Mack, M.S GIS, Manager, Mapping and GIS Department, California Surveying & Drafting Supply, Sacramento, CA
