This paper presents the approach to improve localization based on GNSS. The principles of the GPS localization and impact of the DOP parameter on localization error are mathematically analyzed. The algorithm based on the use of DOP parameter and Kalman filter for the improvement of the localization accuracy suitable for small scale outdoor mobile robots and other outdoor applications is proposed. The applicability of the proposed methodology was verified by performed experiments with two common cheap miniature GPS modules and accurate high-end GNSS receiver used as a reference frame for the measurements. The obtained results affirmed the improvement of the localization accuracy.
