I would like to obtain reasonably accurate real time (sub metre) relative
positioning from two ordinary receivers.
One to be fixed at a base location and the other mobile but sending it's
data to base by telemetry.
Is this a practical possibility without using DGPS or heavy post processing
?
Any pointers would be valued.
Thanks
Mikel

The perennial question of the poor man's DGPS. The short answer is
no. Details at http://gpsinformation.net/main/poordgps.htm
