This greatly improves the accuracy of GPS and Glonas, reducing the errors caused by atmospheric estimates, satellite clocks,s and other factors.
Sailors can now improve their position within 5 meters using the latest DGNSS system, which reduces the chances of error with better navigation competence.
The DGNSS International Maritime Organization (IMO) fulfills the international obligations of the International Association of Marine Assistance for the safety of life in the sea and navigation and lighthouse authorities (IALA).
