Hi All,
Does anyone here still use or has used a Magellan ProMark3 receiver? I am having some problems using DGPS through NTRIP and am wondering if anyone can help.
I am Southern California (Irvine) and am setting up my receiver to do some surveying in the Mojave Desert (north of Lancaster). I am testing out an NTRIP connection to a caster in Long Beach through the SCIGN USGS network. The caster is probably around 35 km away from my location in Irvine (this is just for testing purposes, not for actual surveying). However when I connect to the SCIGN network it tells me the nearest caster is 1400 km away and it is some random station I don't even know where. In the Data Table the Long Beach caster shows up, but according to the GPS unit it's 20,000 km away.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? By the way, the GPS is picking up my location in Irvine without any problems.
I would greatly appreciate your guys' help to solve this conundrum.
Thanks!
Jo
I found out that the caster location isn't shown correctly under station details (see attached). The station in Long Beach, CA shows a Lat of 7949°00' and a Long of 1850°00', which doesn't make sense. Looks like the ProMark3 software is not parsing the data from the caster correctly. I am on the latest software version though.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Does this even matter for surveying if I know which one my closest station is? If I just end up going out in the field and pick my nearest station will I be able to compute a fix solution or will the correction signal also be jumbled up?
