The fudge is determined by the way the clock interfaces to the computer
(via RXS introduces a large delay compared to a handshake line), the
delay in your receiver, and the delay of the radio signal.  There is
no single formula to get it correct, I'm afraid.

Get a better set of time references on the network (that a referenced
off a GPS or similar clock) and that agree to eachother.
With this set, there is no way to tell where you are.
