Do my research on differential gps? you silly oaf...I dont need to do a bit of research. Not a fraction of a second. I was working with some of the guys who developed it.
And obviously, if you feel that doing research is needed to understand it, you are admitting you basically dont have a clue about it. I thought not. And you're too , what, lazy to learn? Maybe uninterested in how GPS works? I suspect its tied back into this reading/comprehension problem you have been exhibiting a lot lately.

Then use your 'knowledge' to attempt to refute one statement about GPS I have made in this thread.....something you have singularly been unable to do up to this point. In fact you haven't even attempted to too, probably because you know I am right. Instead you attempt to dance around the subject. Exhibit 1: see above. Exhibit 2: I have asked repeated questions about the use of GPS and groundspeed in calculating fuel numbers while airborne. You made some moronic claims and I have followed up proving your claims to be irrelevent to the discussion at hand, and you have refused to answer my questions.
You are nothing but a troll. But that's ok, because I love tearing trolls apart, as I have been doing here.
I just invited you to explain differential gps in your own words.
And you cant do it. You change the subject, rather than display your navigational expertise. Why is that?
If you understood what you are talking about you wouldnt need to read anything in order to explain it. Since you dont understand it, you have a pretty good idea that anything you said about it would dangerous ground for you.
One more time.
Can you explain differential gps to me? First, why it came about, and second, how it works?
Or do you want to discuss your "classic" (your word) Straw Man "theory" (again, your word) some more?
All I need to do is stand here smiling while you keep digging your hole.
I'm not sure I understand what a "troll" is, but I recognize your mentality easily enough.
Loved your television commercial, by the way."I give the directions around here" Great line.

You've changed the subject countless times, troll boy. I'm ripping you apart. You can't answer a single question I've asked, and you can't refute a single thing I've said about GPS. This is fun.
The more you dance around the subject and the more you dodge my questions the stupider you look. Your name wouldn't be John Kerry would it?
and you cant answer a single, simple question asked three times in a row. Politely.
you dont have a clue how a GPS receiver even works, past what you read on a label or in a Sports Illustrated article,
and yet you want to keep wasting time with this?
Theres no hope of communicating with you. And wasting some of your particular brain power on childish names (with a flourish of pride, no less!), couldnt you at LEAST have the ingenuity to make a rhyme out of it? Thats how the other grade school debates go, as I recall.

There you go again dancing around the subject, offering nothing substantial to the argument. You've reached the end of your cognitive skills and can do no better than resort to absolute juvenile behavior. I've asked several questions and made several points about GPS and you have refused to answer them and provide any refutation. You have whined several times that you are done on this thread, yet you keep coming back for more punishment and don't even put up a fight. You have been fully exposed as a troll.
ok..fine. I'm a troll. I thought we were discussing GPS, and you wanna call names. Ok..That doesnt bother me. Its a fishing and boating forum. We troll. In my case, often. in your case, not much I suspect.
Talk bout being exposed,,,the one thing really clear here is that you dont know jack about how a GPS works. And cant figure it out given two days to do it.
I rest my case.

See ya around.
This is the best you can do?
Yes we were discussing GPS until I asked some pertinant questions and made some irrefutable points all of which you have chosen not to respond too and instead you avoid discussion of the facts, dance around the subject, and resort to meaningless posts like the one above.
You're motoring on a lake. Your GPS says you're doing 25 knots. Your pitot says you're doing 35 knots. Trust the pitot; it's more accurate!
You're motoring upstream in a swift-flowing river. After a while, you turn around and run back to your starting point at the same RPM and trim settings. Your MPG out will be the same as your MPG home!
And, with similar definitive authority, exactly 21 Gringo posts ago:
And if everyone who questions your version of "how things work" is a troll....it must be a pretty scary universe for you out there.
You haven't even reached the level of questioning my "version", much less provided a logical counter argument or evidence thereof. All you've done is danced around the subject and avoided anything related to facts.
"Alright we've got 100 NMs to our desination. My indicated airspeed (pitot) is 100 kts. That means we've got an hour to get there. We are buring 30 gallons per hour and we have 40 left. Plenty."
Passenger: "But gringo this GPS says our groundspeed is 70 Kts. We must have 30 kts of headwind. That's cutting it pretty close."
Gringo: "Baloney! The pitot is more accurate! Remember, the GPS is about repeatability not accuracy! Didn't I tell you not to bring that stupid thing?"
