    Patent number: 6229478
    Abstract: A method and system for rapidly initializing a rover unit in a networked system. In one embodiment, the present invention acquires rover unit initialization data at a reference station. In one embodiment, the rover unit initialization data is selected from the group consisting of: ephemeris data, almanac data, satellite health data, ionospheric data, UTC and GPS time and approximate rover position information. In the present embodiment, the present invention then communicatively couples the reference station to a server station having memory for storing the rover unit initialization data. After communicatively coupling the reference station to the server station, the present embodiment transfers the rover unit initialization data from the reference station to the server station. The present embodiment then communicatively couples the rover unit to the server station. Next, the present embodiment supplies the rover unit initialization data from the server station to the rover unit.
