The Yukon Government maintains a GPS base station for public use.
The base station is located at:
91790 Alaska Highway
Whitehorse, YT The base station position is:
- Reference System: NAD83 CSRS (WGS 84)
- Latitude: 60-44-01.474447
- Longitude:-135-05-54.555766
- Ellipsoidal Height: 720.540
Base station position was determined by submitting a 24 hours dual frequency data set (2 sec interval) to the PPP service provided by the Geodetic Survey of Canada. Current Horizontal accuracy is approximately 1 cm and vertical accuracy is approximately 1.5 cm.
Archived L1 Rinex data is freely available at: ftp://ftp.geomaticsyukon.ca/GPS/RefStations/WGeo/
L2 Rinex (dual frequency) data is available; however, the base station position has not been established to sub-centimeter accuracy with confidence yet. Please contact Geomatics if you are interested in this information.
Information from the previous GPS Basestation is still available from Orion.
