Pinpointing location is far different than calculating speed on the GPS network
IIRC the current standard for civilian GPS is 15 feet (compared to P(y) encrypted millitary which is somewhere in the tens of centimeters) - but if you're using WAAS, that drops down to 1-3 meters thanks to the GPS ground stations
But that still doesn't change velocity accuracy from relative measurements. It does play a role in location accuracy - but this accuracy goes up as time at that location increases.
I too am just passing along my experience
Out of curiosity - what models do you install?
