Parallax GPS Receiver

Hello.
We were assigned with the following project in uni: Build a self-guided vehicle using an embedded GPS system.
What we first need to do, is to locate the precise position of our vehicle using a GPS module. Although we read in the Parallax manual that the module has a +/-5 meter position accuracy and a +/-0.1 meter per second velocity accuracy.
As we need to guide our vehicle through specific co-ordinates, we were wondering if we can eliminate the error of the module's accuracy (+/-5 meters)
Has anyone worked on anything similar?
