76 Magellan GPS Tracker
The differential beacon receiver receives and demodulates the signal, then
relays it to the user’s differential-ready GPS receiver. The user’s GPS receiver
applies the corrections to the positioning information it collects to compute
differentially corrected position and navigation data.
This technique requires that your GPS receiver be connected to a compatible
differential beacon receiver. You must also be within range of a differential
radio beacon.
