Arrangement and method for position finding using a handset

A method for detecting a position of a handset comprising:

• receiving signals of a plurality of satellites of a positioning system by a vehicle positioning signal receiver and generating a local correction signal from satellite signals received by the vehicle positioning signal receiver of the vehicle and by received differential correction data from a stationary or mobile reference station using a vehicle electronic processor, the local correction signal providing an accuracy improvement of a position determined by the vehicle positioning signal receiver;
• receiving signals of the satellites of the positioning system by a handset positioning signal receiver arranged in a portable handset in a field, transmitting the position signals of the handset positioning signal receiver to a handset electronic processor and using the position signals for deriving raw position data of the handset for determining the position of the portable handset;
• receiving the local correction signal from the vehicle electronic processor by the handset positioning receiver and transmitting the local correction signal to the handset electronic processor;
• and
• determining the position of the portable handset based on the raw position of the portable handset and the local correction signal, wherein the raw position data of the handset are corrected using the local correction signal provided by the vehicle electronic processor, and wherein the raw position data of the handset is correlated to a reference position of an object located in the field that is associated with an operational task of the vehicle.
