[activities] SLUG Meeting November 2011: GPS Time Sync Talk.

Hi,

I have talked to Patrick before about this, but the email monster
seems to be eating my messages.

Is someone interested giving a talk on Friday about satellite
navigation; such as Geocaching, Geolocation or about systems such as
OpenStreetMap or Google Maps?

Regards

Mark

[Here is the talk that I propose to give at the meeting]

In 2012 there will be big changes for Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS.

As illustrated by the first affordable GLONASS receivers
such as in the iPhone 4GS, GPS will no longer have a
"monopoly" on satellite navigation.

This focus of talk is the use of GPS/GNSS in precision
applications such in time synchronisation.

>>  The future of GPS/GNSS and Time Transfer Systems:
>>  "The times they are a changing"
>>  1. Reasons for precision timing - such as regulatory
>>     compliance and performance monitoring
>>  2. The future of GPS (L2C,L5,L1C) and other GNSS options
>>     GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou/COMPASS, QZSS and MSAS/WAAS
>>  3. GPS receiver choices and Antennas.
>>  4. PPS signals and your computer and the limits of computer
>>     time synchronisation
>>
>>  The coverage of GPS and other satellite systems should be
>>  interest to any one who uses GPS for navigation.
[At the level of the old SLUG Main Talk this will take 30 minutes]
