Abstract:At present, handheld GPS has become one of the essential tools for geological staffs. Thus, proper use and correction of GPS should be mastered. On the basis of summarizing practices in many years, it is concluded that the ratio of display coordinate X, Y of GPS and the change amount of tuning parameters of DX, DY and DZ is a certain value in a given region (that is a linear relationship). This certain value is different in different regions. Through variation of this linear relationship, by using the method of solving equations, parameters of DX, DY, DZ can be determined quickly and accurately. If it can satisfy the equation with different combinations of DX, DY, DZ, it can be regarded as the correct calibration parameters. Thus, GPS can be corrected accuratly.
