The use of geo-referenced information in precision farming has increased greatly in the last decade. Furthermore, the decrease in the cost of GPS reception equipment has made possible their use by people who did not previously have access to this technology. This research aims to evaluate the precision and accuracy of the GPS receptor model Gstar GS-87, to understand its applicability for information systems embedded in agricultural systems. This research is part of the Agrobot project, which is being developed at the Laboratory of Automation and Control, State University of Ponta Grossa. An embedded computer Friendly ARM, model Mini6410 was used, with operating system Linux version 2.6.38. Static absolute surveys were conducted at three geodesic marks: Castro (96005), UEPG Campus (91643) and Pilar UFPR 1000.Several kinematic surveys were also carried out to compare the GPS coordinates collected by GPS receptor Gstar GS-87, with data collected by Geodetic GPS receptor Leica GX-1230. The static surveys from this research show that the GS-87 demonstrated a dimensional accuracy of +/- 8.19 m, with standard deviation of 11.43 m, and bi-dimensional accuracy +/- 13.78 m with a standard deviation of 14.26 m. In relation to kinematic surveying the receiver had an accuracy of +/- 3.70 m with a standard deviation of 1.88 m. A time difference of 15 sec between the data collected for both receptors was observed. Also was observed that the GPS receptor Gstar GS-87 recorded changes of coordinates properly when it was on the move with a speed equal to or greater than 9 km/h. It can be argued that the GPS receiver Gstar GS-87 can be used in an embedded information system, where the need for precision and accuracy are consistent with the data presented in this study.
