I have built a PIC-controlled rover. Now I need to give it
some kind of moving capability. Does it make any sense to
try to make it to find its location through a GPS ? I have
looked in the Net for GPS accuracy and I have seen very
different values, depending on the technology used. For
systems using a stationary beacon besides the satellites,
precisions of cms. can be achieved. Has anybody tested this ?
Are low level commercial systems (that is, not too expensive
ones) capable of this ?

If GPS cannot be used, has somebody any idea to know the
position of my rover (besides IR beacons and triangulation) ?

Thanks !
