Possible project to try out when getting our pandoras?

This can mean accuracies within one centimeter, but there are difficulties with aligning signals with RTK, and the need for multiple receivers makes the technology impractical for navigation. This is why the technology is most widely used in land surveying.

great . i can survey my block but not navigate my car...lol

Interesting project. There's a fair bit of custom hardware involved, but looking at how it interfaces to the Beagleboard it seems like it could be adaptable to Pandora. Having said that, it's not a project aimed at everyday navigation. The Makezine article (and comments) are well worth the read:
