Abstract
The present invention includes a method for a combined use of a local RTK system and a regional, wide-area, or global differential carrier-phase positioning system (WADGPS) in which disadvantages associated with the RTK and the WADGPS navigation techniques when used separately are avoided. The method includes determining a floating ambiguity value and a first position of an object using WADGPS in a first mode of operation, and determining a second position of the object using the local RTK system in a second mode of operation.
