FAQ

What is the difference between a GNSS and a GPS receiver?

A GNSS receiver tracks signals from multiple satellite constellations, while a GPS receiver only uses the U.S. GPS system. Multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS systems provide surveyors with higher accuracy and better performance in land survey and construction projects. When paired with a base station or NTRIP VRS correction services, an RTK GNSS or RTK GPS rover can achieve 1 cm accuracy for stakeout, field survey, or UAV mapping.

How are GNSS rovers and base stations used in construction and survey applications?

In RTK workflows, a base station is a stationary GNSS receiver that provides correction data to a rover receiver, also known as an RTK GNSS rover. The rover GPS system is mounted on a rover pole and connected via Bluetooth to a data collector, such as smartphone, iOS or Android tablet. This setup allows surveyor to complete stakeout and use land surveying equipment on the job site for reliable GNSS positioning.

What advanced features improve GNSS performance in modern devices?

Modern RTK rover systems often include a high-quality antenna for full-band reception and IMU with high-tilt compensation technology. The integrated IMU allows the rover to maintain accuracy even when the pole is tilted and help surveyors collect points faster without leveling.
