Abstract
A self-calibrating Global Positioning System (GPS) reference station and method for operating the reference station. The reference station includes a station frame, a GPS receiver and a controller mounted on the station frame. The controller upon power up, determines if the reference station has been moved and determines a new reference position of the reference station if the reference station has been moved. The GPS receiver is then placed into a reference station mode.
