1. A portable augmentation system that comprises:

  • a reference receiver, the reference receiver comprising a single antenna ground-based reference receiver at a position that comprises an unidentified location, and configured to;

    receive satellite signals;

    based upon the satellite signals determine a location for the reference receiver;

    form satellite data that comprises raw pseudo-range data and a group of satellite data parameters that comprise;

    satellite clock correction coefficients data, satellite position data, carrier waves, ranging codes, and atmospheric error data; and

    send the satellite data to a navigation information generator that comprises;

    a self-surveyor, a configuration application, an operation application, and a satellite data processor, the navigation information generator configured to;

    receive the satellite data from the reference receiver;

    determine, based on navigation information in the satellite data and a self-survey of the location from the reference receiver, a level of accuracy for the location of the reference receiver;

    indicate on a display when the level of accuracy for the location of the reference receiver does not meet a desired level of accuracy for the location of the reference receiver; and

    generate;

    a pseudo-range correction data, responsive to a determination by the self-surveyor that the level of accuracy of the location comprises the desired level of accuracy for an identification of the position of the location;

    based upon a group of rules for the level of accuracy of the location, a level of accuracy for the pseudo-range correction data;

    an indicator that the level of accuracy for the pseudo-range correction data comprises the desired level of accuracy for the pseudo-range data correction; and

    messages that comprise the pseudo-range correction data configured to adjust an identified position of a mobile receiver.
