I proposed two possible solutions to the problem:

1) Do the long term average with your specific GPS gizmo.

2) Get a survey grade GPS in and determine the “real” location.

The NIST papers do indicate that #1 does not equal #2 for the gear they tested. 

So the question - If they are not going to be equal, which one do you pick?
