The use of a network of reference stations instead of a single reference station allows to model some systematic errors in a region, and to increase the distance between the rover receiver and reference stations. GPS reference stations exist in some countries, and GPS observations are available for users in real-time mode and in post-processing. The paper presents DGPS post-processing positioning with the use of three reference stations at the same time. The traditional DGPS is based on one reference station. It has been shown that the accuracy of such positioning is about 1 - 2 meters, depending on the number of satellites and the value of PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision). The accuracy of DGPS positioning degrades when the distance between the rover and the receiver station is increased. The paper shows that when we use three reference stations simultaneously, we can create pseudorange corrections for a virtual reference station, located in the vicinity of an unknown station. Three reference stations give redundant observations and enable to reduce the values of some measurement errors and biases. Practical calculations and analysis of accuracy have been presented for medium-long distances between the rover station and references.
