Re:IPhone 4S has GLONASS in addition to GPS

In mid 90s I worked for a company that developed combined GPS/GLONASS receiver and aimed specifically at high-precision measurement market. With clever math modeling and by letting a receiver rest on one spot for longer periods of time, e.g. 30 min, they could get the precision down to 3 mm (millimeters). And that's without A-GPS, purely through oversampling of satellite data.

It's funny you mention that, as I swear the professor said it could be done to accuracy of mm, but after reviewing the wikipedia articles I had concluded I misremembered. Perhaps not...

You can, but you need to need to analyze the phase of the GPS signals at the analog level (not the the code phase)

So the carrier phase is derived from the Cs/Rb clocks on the satellites? That's pretty neat, if so.

That company was Javad, no?
