1. A method for sharing convergence data between Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, the method comprising:
- receiving convergence data at a first mobile GNSS receiver from a second mobile GNSS receiver, the first mobile GNSS receiver operating in a non-converged state and the second mobile GNSS receiver operating in a converged state, the convergence data generated at the second mobile GNSS receiver using correction data from one or more base stations, the convergence data comprising at least one of correction bias errors estimated by the second mobile GNSS receiver or correction data refined using the correction bias errors estimated by the second mobile GNSS receiver, wherein the correction bias errors comprise adjustments to at least one of orbit models or satellite clocks provided with the correction data from the one or more base stations;
and thereafterdetermining a position of the first mobile GNSS receiver using the convergence data from the second mobile GNSS receiver.
