Ack! Numerous meaningless pseudo-differentiations written to confuse the pointy haired ones makes Dan's head all asplodey!

Does this mean you are growing pointy haired?

No, I'm having pains in that direction, but I don't think it's happening yet. I'm still struck by this overwhelming urge to throw all these whitepapers at the wall and just implement something.

Doncha just love the geo-world? Even when you think something could be precisely defined, it's not (or can't be).
I don't which is the chicken or the egg... Geography, as a discipline, became very post-modern in the 70s and 80s. Some say it was a reaction to the "Quantitative Revolution" that arose from the Office of Strategic Studies during WWII. Now it's hard to tell if the kind of wishy-washy stuff in geo is due to a true failings in the ability to quantify aspects of the world, or the impact of post-modern dogma. Either way, the results the same. It's almost as if there's a sort of Heisenberg Principle in effect - the more precisely something is measured or defined, the less accuracy you get somewhere else. GIS, GPS, etc., are heavily influenced by these ideas (or in spite of post-modernism).
We can put satellites in low-earth orbit and produce cheap, consumer-grade receivers to utilize those signals. But through all of that precision, the resulting application of the signal is lacking.

In this particular case it was about the difference between an RTK Cluster and an RTK Network. I mean, it's reasonable that there's a difference between them, and I think I even see now what it is, but the differentiation in the different papers describing them is largely about why one vendor's implementation is a Network and their competitions' implementation is a Cluster.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
