I read that for position accuracy ionospheric effects are the main 
source for typical single frequency receivers. So looking for DOP would 
be not helpful because the ionospheric way is for two 'relative' on the 
same position located teceivers vs. satellites position almost the same 
and that would cancel this error source out!? The end-effect should be 
better values than seen in the datasheet.

I must ask again. More opinions?
