Abstract

An error correcting location system includes a ground station with fixed reference coordinates. The ground station may receive satellite broadcast messages from a plurality of location system satellites. Further, the ground station may determine location coordinates based on the satellite broadcast messages, and compare the location coordinates to the fixed reference coordinates to determine a compensation value. In addition, the ground station may send the compensation value to location system devices. Upon receipt of the compensation value, the location system devices may utilize the compensation value to generate highly accurate location coordinates.
