The problem for this is GPS accuracy. It just isn't good enough, and won't be soon. You'll certainly need 5Hz sampling, but the position errors will be a problem. GPS is only good to about 30 feet accuracy, and sometimes less. Reflected signals can cause much larger errors. There is survey-grade differential GPS available, but it's expensive and not very portable.
