Description
CORS (Continually Operating Reference Stations) collecting geodetic data from GNSS.
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 modelled and corrected for, yielding the ±20 mm position solution required by so many industries.

Thanks Geocaching Australia for this one as we were passing through Myrtleford, as there are only two in this town.
Hopefully next time we are passing through I will be able to get close enough to the other one to be able to log it also.
But I seem to remember that was a very steep hill I climbed a few years ago to locate a GC cache at the top of it. I'm not real confident I could do it again. Certainly not on a hot day like today. More likely a nice day in the spring time.
A great few days on the road.....road works not counted.
