OmniSTAR supports applications across a wide range of industries including agriculture (precision farming), mining and land survey. Aerial applications include crop dusting and geophysical surveys. OmniSTAR is also being adopted as a vital component for autonomous vehicle operations.

OmniSTAR offers three levels of Differential GPS Service: VBS, HP, and XP.

OmniSTAR VBS is a "sub-meter" level of service.  A typical 24-hour sample of VBS will show a 2-sigma (95%) of significantly less than 1 meter horizontal position error and the 3-sigma (99%) horizontal error will be close to 1 meter.

The OmniSTAR HP service will usually have a 2-sigma (95%) horizontal error of about 6 centimeters and a 99% horizontal error of less than 10 centimeters. It is particularly useful for Agricultural Machine guidance and many surveying tasks. It operates in real time, and without the need for local Base Stations or telemetry links. OmniSTAR HP is a true advance in the use of GPS for on-the-go precise positioning.

The new OmniSTAR XP service provides short term accuracy of 1-2 inches and long term repeatability of better than 10 Cms, 95%CEP. It is especially suited for Agricultural automatic steering systems. While it is slightly less accurate than HP, it is available worldwide and its accuracy is a significant improvement over regional Differential Systems such as WAAS.
