Online Global GPS Processing Service (CSRS-PPP)

You can submit your RINEX data for CSRS-PPP processing via the CSRS Online Database or using the PPP Direct PC desktop utility

NRCan's PPP (Precise Point Positioning) is a free online post-processing service that allows GPS users in Canada (and abroad) to compute better-accuracy positions from their GPS raw observation data.

Compute better-accuracy positions from GPS raw observation data

Compute better-accuracy positions from GPS raw observation data

Submit RINEX raw data online and receive via email centimetric-accuracy corrected coordinates (latitude, longitude, ellipsoid height) in either the NAD83(CSRS) or the ITRF reference system.

CSRS-PPP can now produce NAD83(CSRS) coordinates at the epoch of your choice:

  • the 2 different epochs adopted by Canada's provincial geodetic agencies:
    • 1997.0: BC(Vancouver Island), MB, NB, NL, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK
    • 2002.0: GSD, AB, BC(Mainland), NT, NU, YK
  • the epoch of the GPS data
  • a user-defined epoch

CSRS-PPP uses a velocity grid that accounts for crustal motion over time (mostly vertical motion due to post-glacial rebound).

PPP now also applies the HTv2.0 height transformation and produces orthometric (mean-sea-level) heights compatible with CGVD28 elevations.

PPP can process raw GPS data from single or dual-frequency receivers in either Static mode (output is a single position) or Kinematic mode (each epoch is corrected individually).

Note: CSRS-PPP can now process your static or kinematic RINEX GPS data to produce NAD83-CSRS (or ITRF) positions 90 minutes after acquisition using NRCan hourly GPS orbits and clocks.
