Claim 9:
10. A method for determining a geolocation of a measurement spot, the method to be executed by a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver being in communication with an array of beacons and having a GNSS port, the method comprising:
receiving a location data from the GNSS port, along with a GNSS precision data;
by the GNSS receiver, connecting to the array of beacons, wherein each one of beacons of the array of beacons is separate and distinct from the GNSS receiver, and each one of the beacons is installed at a pre-determined beacon location;
determining a beacon-based location of the GNSS receiver within the array of beacons along with a beacon estimated precision data;
generating a data packet having the location data received from the GNSS port, comprising replacing the location data from the GNSS port in the data packet by the beacon-based location of the GNSS receiver if the beacon estimated precision data is more accurate than the GNSS precision data; and
transmitting the data packet over an output port to an electronic device associated to the GNSS receiver, the electronic device being separate and distinct from the GNSS receiver.
