<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p> Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been used for the last decade as a cost-effective alternative for the ordinary DGPS-Differential GPS with an estimated precision sufficient for many applications. PPP requires handling different types of errors using proper models. PPP precision varies with the use of observations from different satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and mixed GPS/GLONASS) and the duration of observations. This research presents an evaluation study for the variability of Static-PPP precision based on different observation types (GPS, GLONASS and mixed observations) and observation duration. It can be concluded that Static-PPP solution using mixed observations is offering similar accuracy as the one using GPS-only observations and saving 15 minutes observation time.
