Wonder how this system works ?

Apparently cheap and accurate...

Low-cost RTK GPS receiver (centimeter level precision) with open source software and board design targeted at UAVs.


Some possible applications:

UAVs
Amateur rocketry

Autonomous lawnmowers


Technical Specs:

Centimeter level positioning (RTK)
Fast (50 Hz) position/velocity/time updates
Open source software and board design
Low power consumption : 500mW / 100mA typical
Small form factor : 53 x 53 mm
Low cost : $900 for a complete RTK system
