© 2020 IEICE. The ASEAN IVO project currently supports the research related to GNSS and ionospheric data products for disaster prevention and aviation in low-latitude regions. In the positioning system, the atmosphere is the main medium along the propagation path that includes some ions, water vapor, and noise. These are the causes of the propagation delay time especially the ions in the ionosphere. At the present, there are many Global Positioning System (GPS) stations worldwide. Therefore, we can check the performances of the positioning system by using the positioning error calculation. In this work, the positioning errors are calculated from the 16 GPS stations at the low geomagnetic latitude region (Thailand) with the single frequency algorithm on a disturbance day. Then, we compute the 95-percentile and the maximum of the positioning errors. The results show approximately the difference of 95-percentile value 1.799 meters on the horizontal axis and 2.289 meters on the vertical axis and maximum positioning error can be up to 11.413 meters on the disturbed time on the disturbance day.
