Patent attributes
A GNSS device includes an antenna configured to receive a first plurality of GNSS signals from a first plurality of GNSS satellites and a second plurality of GNSS signals from a second plurality of GNSS satellites. The GNSS device also includes a communications interface configured to receive correction signals from a GNSS base unit. A processor of the GNSS device is coupled to the antenna and communications interface for processing data from the first plurality of GNSS signals and the second plurality of GNSS signals. Memory of the GNSS device includes executable instructions for several steps. A first algorithm is executed to determine first position data for the GNSS device based on the first plurality of GNSS signals and a correction signal received at the GNSS device from the GNSS base unit. The first position data is stored memory of the GNSS device. A second algorithm is executed to determine second position data for the GNSS device based on the second plurality of GNSS signals. In response to the second algorithm failing to determine the second position data, GNSS signal data is stored in memory of the GNSS device. The GNSS signal data is based on the second plurality of GNSS signals. The GNSS signal data are transmitted to an external device.
