| Oct 7, 2013 at 21:47 | comment | added | Aerophilic | How much do you care about accuracy? The reality with any GPS system is that you are only going to be accurate to about 1-2 meters unless you use Differential GPS (or some other correction signal). It is usually much better to tie the GPS position to some sort of Inertial measurement system. While I agree multipath is a huge issue for robots... you need to think of what your real needs are. What kind of autonomous vehicle are you trying to make? From that, you could decide how much accuracy you really need from your GPS solution. | |

| Aug 28, 2013 at 19:08 | comment | added | Ian | Autonomous vehicles are a different story because they combine their GPS with a host of other sensors (most notably, LIDAR) to get a much more accurate real-time position. If you're planning to do the same thing, you should update your question with that information. | |
| Aug 28, 2013 at 3:57 | comment | added | Boris | @Ian, it is easier to ask rather than move the device (including all the wiring). Also it seems to be rather an exotic place for antenna - if you check some of autonomous cars, e.g. Stanford's Stanley (which won DARPA Grand Challenge), they place antennae on the roof. Same did the other teams. So there is a big question if it is worth the effort. | |
| Aug 27, 2013 at 18:45 | comment | added | Ian | I'm curious why you don't trust the GPSd FAQ to be giving you the best possible advice in this situation. | |
