    Abstract: A method of reference position determination for a DGNSS base station. The base station comprises a memory, a logic controller and a GNSS receiver. Stored reference positions are stored in the memory as coordinate sets comprising components. The GNSS receiver determines a current estimate position of the base station as a coordinate set comprising components. The logic controller retrieves a stored reference position, converts the components of the stored reference position and the current estimate position to binary string format. The current estimate position is matched to the stored reference position by matching the binary string format components of the current estimate position with the binary string format components of the stored reference position. If the stored reference position is matched to the current estimate position, the base station is assigned the stored reference position as its reference position.
