A technique of accurately determining the relative position between two points using carrier phase information from receivers capable of making code and carrier phase measurements on signals transmitted from GPS satellites as well as signals transmitted from WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS or other Wide Area Augmentation System satellites (hereafter referred to simply as WAAS satellites). These signals are processed by a receiving system to determine relative position, for the purpose of surveying or otherwise, with the accuracy of carrier phase measurements being obtained. Signal processing similar to that used in existing GPS carrier phase based relative positioning receivers is used with WAAS signals as well. Benefits include faster and more reliable integer ambiguity resolution, protection from cycle slips and loss of sufficient satellites, and possibility of extending the operating range by allowing increased separation of reference and base receivers by incorporating ionospheric models provided by WAAS.
