Description
Piangil CORS
A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. CORS can take the place of a traditional base station used in differential GNSS positing. They can give an instant position to an accuracy of ± 20 mm and are used in many industries including Precision Agriculture, Construction, Mining, Surveying and in Scientific Research.
Typically, the maximum distance between a base station and rover GNSS set up is around 10 - 15 km. This is due to the effect of the atmosphere on the GNSS signals as they travel from the satellite to a GNSS receiver.
With the establishment of a network of CORS, the distance between the base and the rover can be extended. The CORS can be spaced around 70 km apart and using at least 3 of these CORS, the atmospheric effects can be modeled and corrected for, yielding the ± 20 mm position solution required by so many industries.

To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the CORS, along with your GPS and/or yourself. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the CORS.

Thanks for the Trig.
Thanks for another one.
Thanks.
Very happy with the number of GCA Trigs, CORS and Trads plus a few B&W's caches we managed this trip. Quick find and then moved on to the next one.
TFTC !!
They seem to be a bit bigger over the boarder!
Or maybe its all the rain recently making it swell a little
Cheers
We are currently touring Victoria with our geovan in tow, using geocaching as a guide. We have visited many amazing locations through geocaching and today our journey bought us to Piangil and the Piangil CORS. Very easy to spot this one - required pic has been added to the gallery. Many thanks Geocaching Australia for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience today.
