The positioning accuracy of the standard codes rose at 1 May 2000 shutdown of the artificial signal distortion (Selective Availability) of about 100 meters to 10-15 meters and can be explained by different methods difference (DGPS) to increase centimeters. With special multi-frequency measuring devices with the L1 and L2 frequency and longer measurement for geodetic purposes accuracies of a few millimeters per kilometer distance reached base line.

The official name is "atellite Nav igational S T R iming a nd were involved - G lobal P ositioning System (Navstar GPS). Navstar is also sometimes as an abbreviation for "Nav igation S ystem using T iming a nd R were involved" is used. GPS was on 17 July 1995 officially put into operation.
