Better GPS
Knight Ridder reports on James Spilker and Per Enge, two of the founders of the Stanford Center for Position, Navigation and Time. Spilker, a founder of navigation chip startup Rosum (the folks who use TV signals to determine location indoors and out) and one of the creators of GPS, feels GPS is just getting started.
The center has a goal of creating a navigation system capable of locating objects within one centimeter, maybe within 20 years. Parts of the solution involve integration inertial navigation tools in the GPS receivers and developing better antennae.
