1 Measurement precision and accuracy in position and accuracy in height are dependent upon various factors including number of satellites, geometry, observations time, ephemeris accuracy, ionospheric conditions, multipath etc. Figures quoted assume normal to favorable conditions. Times required are dependent upon carious factors including number of satellites, geometry, ionospheric conditions, multipath etc. GPS and GLONASS can increase performance and accuracy by up to 30% relative to GPS only.
