Mobile-Based GPS Land Area measurement System

Abstract

People need new and easy methods to measure areas for different lands using methods that are available at hand rather than buying special equipment like Distomat. By using mobile GPS people can measure areas, but we need to study how we can correct the error that the GPS provide. GPS is used for measurement, but the error is high to be a reliable tool for measurement, our study will be about fixing the error using different ways of error correction such as DGPS then differentiate the error from both GPS and DGPS with Distomat. The error differentiation will give us feedback whether we can use mobile GPS as a measurement tool. We will measure a known area of a land with GPS and DGPS, they will give us a certain error which will lead us to correct it to a certain level, this level makes the decision if we can use mobile as a measurement tool using GPS.
