1. A computer apparatus for post positioning with a selected precision, comprising:
- a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) post processor to post process reference GNSS carrier phases from a reference system and rover GNSS carrier phases from a rover receiver to compute a secure position, said secure position not available to a user, for said rover receiver; and
a vector offset generator to use a selected precision to compute a dither level for a sequence of offset vectors to degrade an intrinsic precision of said secure position to provide a user-available position for said rover receiver at said selected precision; and
wherein;
the vector offset generator includes an accuracy leveler to compensate said selected precision for a variation in said intrinsic precision by computing a smaller said dither level when said intrinsic precision is less precise.

Abstract
A computer apparatus for post positioning with a selected precision. The apparatus includes a GNSS post processor to post process reference GNSS carrier phases from a reference system and rover GNSS carrier phases from a rover receiver to compute a secure position for the rover receiver not available to a user. The apparatus includes a vector offset generator to use the selected precision to compute a dither level for offset vectors to degrade an intrinsic precision of the secure position to provide a user-available position for the rover receiver at the selected precision.
