OmniSTAR
OmniSTAR is a wide-area differential GPS service, using a network of base stations surveyed to centimeter accuracy.

OmniSTAR offers wide-area differential correction by using geo-stationary satellites to broadcast correction data over a large area. OmniSTAR differential correction is subscription-based, which allows you to pay for the level of accuracy you need. Currently, three levels [...]

Earlier this week we started discussing differential correction as it applies to your precision farming practices. There are several options for differential correction services, and the service you use should be based on your precision farming operation. To help determine which differential correction service you should use, we will describe some of the most common [...]

As we discussed earlier this week, the acronym “GNSS” encompasses all satellite navigation networks currently available and in development. The most advanced GNSS networks are GPS and GLONASS.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is the United States’ constellation of 24 satellites, developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Traditionally, GPS has been the most commonly used [...]

GNSS – Global Navigation Satellite Systems – is an acronym that you may not commonly hear in the precision ag discussion. However, this is the general term for satellite navigation systems that you likely hear quite often, such as GPS or GLONASS.
GPS and GLONASS are both satellite navigation systems specific to the country or region [...]
