Abstract

Results are given of measurements with two hand-held GPS C/A- code SPS (Standard Positioning Service) receivers at thirty locations in Finland, Norway and Sweden. Comparison is made between computed positions by the receivers and positions on geographic maps. It is concluded that both receivers have pros en cons. A combination of the characteristics of the two would give a nearly ideal receiver. The measured accuracies are within the specifications given by the USA for SPS receivers. However to arrive at these results extra coordinate transformations, not available to an ordinary user, were necessary in the case of Finland and Sweden.
