4. Correction Signals – EGNOS, OmniSTAR and RTK:
DGPS – What is Correction
Raw GPS gives us an accuracy on planet earth of +/- 5m. In order to use GPS in Agricultural
applications we need to add a Differential Correction. We then call this DGPS.
DGPS in the world of New Holland is available at 3 different levels – EGNOS, OmniSTAR
and RTK. Below, each of these will be explained along with applications for their use, as well
as processes on how to get such correction.
DGPS Level 1 – EGNOS
EGNOS stands for “European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service”. This is a free level
of correction available to all. This gives a Pass-to-Pass accuracy of +/- 15-20cm.
EGNOS is ideal for applications such as Pre-Emergent Fertilising/Spraying, Grassland Work,
and light cultivations. Manual, Assisted and AutoGuidance can all be used with EGNOS.
When yield mapping on combines, an EGNOS level of correction is also ideal.
DGPS Level 2 – OmniSTAR XP/HP

What is OmniSTAR
An OmniSTAR Correction signal is required for applications where Guidance is being used
for Combining, Arable Drilling, Precision Cultivating etc.
This service is supplied by Netherlands based OmniSTAR (See website details above).
Accuracy for an OmniSTAR XP Signal is 7-12cm Pass-to-Pass, and 30cm absolute.
Accuracy for an OmniSTAR HP Signal is 5-10cm Pass-to-Pass, and 30cm absolute.
Which OmniSTAR Signal does my customer require
In the past, OmniSTAR XP Farm has been the licence that your customers required (as long
as they were not travelling more than 50km from their base Postcode – if travelling further
then a Regional HP Signal would be required)) for both combines and arable drilling
operations. Today this can now be ORDERED IN 1 MONTH INCREMENTS, there is NO
LONGER a minimum of 3 months subscription required.
The Flex-Farm Option has now been removed from the OmniSTAR offering.
For pricing on this XP/HP please see pricing within this section.
