Differential Correction removes satellite timing errors, receiver timing errors, and atmospheric errors. An uncorrected signal is accurate to 7-8 meters or about 25-30 feet. There are two differential correction methods: postprocessing (above) and real-time (below.) The concept is the same. A base station is surveyed to 1-3cm accuracy. When the satellite signals reaches a base station, the base station recognizes the difference between its accurate surveyed position and the error position sent by the satellites. The correction is either saved to a hard disk for postprocessing or communicated real-time to the GPS receiver. .Real-time is valuable for navigation. Postprocessing is more accurate.
