differential GPS [‚dif·ə¦ren·chəl ¦jē¦pē′es]

(navigation)

A technique for improving the accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in which error corrections are transmitted to users based on measurements of GPS signals by one or more reference receivers situated at known locations. Abbreviated DGPS.
