Question

The president of John Deere & Company is quoted as saying to a meeting of corporate executives:

Today's large John Deere tractors have more lines of software code than early space shuttles!

Our GPS technology can guide a tractor and implement in the field with near-perfect precision. This means less overlap in tillage and chemical application, saving on time, money and envir.I want you to perform an internet investigation of how John Deere & Company is incorporating GPS technology into their equipment.

3. Does John Deere use the existing GNSS/GPS system or has it launched its own SVs?

Explanation / Answer

The above answer is incorrect and somebody has copied what I had written in your previous question...

Here is the correct answer

John Deere have launched their own SVs. they are not using the existing GPS technlogy.

StarFire is a wide-area differential GPS developed by John Deere's NavCom and precision farming groups. StarFire broadcasts additional "correction information" over satellite L-band frequencies around the world, allowing a StarFire-equipped receiver to produce position measurements accurate to well under one meter, with typical accuracy over a 24-hour period being under 4.5 cm. StarFire is similar to the FAA's differential GPS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), but considerably more accurate due to a number of techniques that improve its receiver-end processing.
