The Reach RS3 is a game changer for my team. The tilt compensation allows accurate surveying of hard to reach points, and building corners and walls can now be shot directly without using offsets. I am amazed at the accuracy, even with fairly large tilts! Emlid has done it again with the RS3, leading the way in affordable, accurate and versatile GNSS survey kit.
Using the RS3 was like using the RS2s for the first time, the opportunities the tilt compensation opened up for us were fantastic. Building corners and walls are now a breeze, also for recording points that are just that bit too far under cover.
If you're in the industry, tilt compensation is something you have to try. Emlid have once again brought this feature within reach for a wide audience, I can't wait to see the creative ways people will start putting this to use on the forums or user groups.
Open-pit mine design
Reach RS2 helped our users design a gold mine pit in Alaska. The team surveyed drill collars with centimeter accuracy and exported the results to a GIS app for pit design. Then they used established base points to place GCPs for progress monitoring.

Topographic survey on the coastline
Photogrammetry for a maritime concession in Punta Arenas, Chile, was a challenging project for Kenos Drones, requiring advanced GNSS survey equipment. The team used Reach RS2 for RTK land surveying equipment at sub-zero temperatures. They lifted high and low tide lines from the coast of the Strait of Magellan.

Emlid Flow is a mobile app for iOS and Android. It handles all the fieldwork—receiver settings, data collection, coding, linework, and stakeout. All survey data is in sync with the cloud-based service Emlid Flow 360, which allows you to access your projects from your browser and manage survey data and code lists.
Collect points, write detailed descriptions, and perform quality control using our responsive interface. The app has built-in support for projections, grids, and geoids and a library with hundreds of verified coordinate systems.
Emlid Flow has a wizard for manual coordinate system creation for areas without a predefined coordinate system. To start your survey, you just need to specify the datum, enter transformation parameters or projection, and choose your geoid.
Emlid Flow displays East-North and straight-to-line distances and supports cut and fill indication. When you get close to a point, the indication switches to a close-up alignment mode helping you to center exactly above the point.
Additionally, the app serves as a reliable surveying tool with a close-up alignment feature for precise positioning.
Measure and move ahead with just a few taps. You can use either predefined geometry types or a full-blown code library, whatever suits your needs.
Add codes, quickly switch between different object codes, start new lines, and continue collecting existing ones.
Upload your custom code library or use a standard one built into Emlid Flow with more than a hundred codes available from the start.
Upload topographic maps, cadastral plans, and aerial imagery from WMS and WMTS sources or work with a built-in satellite map.
Find or adjust missing or outdated local coordinate system parameters. Depending on the data provided, Emlid Flow automatically chooses the calibration algorithm that delivers the best accuracy.
All residuals are placed on a single screen, so you have the full context while you adjust.
Work with survey plans, quickly adjust designs in the field, or simply review data for informed decision making.
Tools allow you to create new geometry directly in the app with specified distance and direction, find coordinate geometry attributes such as area, distance, direction, slope, and more.
The Emlid Flow app is synchronized with the Emlid Flow 360 service. This allows you to create and access survey projects, manage coordinate systems, and export and import data using both the mobile app and the cloud service at flow360.emlid.com.
CSV, DXF, and Shapefile
The full list of features is available with the Survey subscription.
Try it in Emlid Flow 360 for $25/month.
The basic functions are available with the Free version.
Reach RS3: RTK receiver with tilt compensation

Reach RS3 provides data in standard NMEA that is used by most GIS and survey apps. Simply connect your device to Reach over Bluetooth or via cable, and turn on “Position output” in Emlid Flow.
Enjoy your work with Reach RS3 and any regular data collector. Stream NMEA data via Bluetooth.
We’ve successfully completed the tests with the leading land survey software MicroSurvey FieldGenius. Reach RS3 pairs with most types of traditional data collectors via Bluetooth or USB and feeds the coordinates to MicroSurvey FieldGenius in NMEA format. Check out our FieldGenius Setup guide to get started!

Fermat Topografia, Costa Rica
With Reach RS2, our users defined initial points for future earthworks in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. They then used the initial points as reference points and ran an RTK survey for volume calculations to verify the amount of removed material. Reach RS2 had great reception even in tight spots.

Jaime Martinez, surveyor, Chile
With Reach RS2, the surveyor placed 200 points to establish farmland properties in San Pedro, Chile. He then imported the dataset to Civil AutoCAD to bring the cadastral plan up to date. After that, he placed stakes with centimeter accuracy to mark the boundaries of each plot.

Brent Wiebe, drafting technician, Canada
Using Reach RS2, Brent Wiebe from Canada placed GCPs for a drone mapping project. When the CAD files were finished, our user imported them to the ReachView app for laying out the project on-site. Ultimately, this helped to approve the construction of a new dairy barn.
