Master of Science degree course in GNSS
I have found interesting news and thought it could be useful. Four universities from three countries have created together a new two-year Master of Science degree course in GNSS starting from this September.
The graduate program is based in Toulouse and taught in English. Its main focus is navigation and positioning techniques taking into account different GNSS applications. The program was created with the support of the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency (GSA).
For further info you can check the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) website: http://egnos-portal.gsa.europa.eu/news/first-master-s-degree-course-in-gnss-starts-in-september.

RE:Master of Science degree course in GNSS
Hello,
as I’m always interested in the GNSS world, I was wondering about the usage of GNSS/GPS/EGNOS (for those who are not confident with EGNOS http://egnos-portal.gsa.europa.eu/users/maritime) in maritime.
I’m not from the sector, but I was wondering if GPS according to you is enough for navigation both open seas and coastal.
Best

RE:Master of Science degree course in GNSS
Hello,
I found out that data from satellite navigation technologies on boats can also be used to create charts of the seabed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjFh-cWR20A.
It looks like it is possible to obtain accurate maps by aggregating a lot of data packages provided by a multitude of small boats.
Did any of you participate in similar activities? What do you think about it?
