Abstract:	DGPS/radiobeacons are being deployed worldwide, because they are a cost effective way to broadcast differential GPS corrections over relatively large ar- eas to mobile marine users. They simply require the addition of a GPS reference station and an MSK modulator to any existing marine radiobeacon. This paper describes the worldwide growth in the num- ber of DGPS/radiobeacons, and it details an algo- rithm which estimates the coverage of an individual DGPS/radiobeacon.
