Hi Kirk, OK, I'll rule out the PPP for now, although it doesn't seem to be practical for production mapping anyway. I think my antennas are probably OK, none of them have a ground plane, not practical for field mapping.  I've only seen them in geodetic applications.  Of course, the aircraft

Hi Springfield: PPP requires long observation times in the order of hours and therefore a new field survey.  I would try post processing from a high precision site with your existing data. Another issue may be the aviation antennae you mentioned.  These are usually mounted on the top of a

Hello Garth, Thanks very much for that reference.  I have used the service in the past. I'm in the middle of other work but may try to re-process some Map A files using PPP to see what changes. Your work sounds more like surveying than mapping, interesting. I do use the GPS reception

Hi, I don’t currently have enough internet to check out the unit but I imagine this is a single band unit with an onboard antenna. I imagine you are using it in “point and shoot mode” or static mode where you are not taking measurements over a long period time, nor are you using a second unit

OK, thanks for that.  Lots of options.  I tried the Ardu approach with drones (Arducopter) and the tinkering overhead was horrendous, highly experimental.  I gave up and got a DJI that was stable out of the box.  Lots of CrazyGlu for the Arducopter! I would like a good datalogger for my older

Kirk is spot on. That unit is for GIS use and cannot receive RTK GNSS corrections. You will need a survey grade receiver, with RTK corrections (or post processed) for better accuracy. Budget option for cm accuracy is the Emlid Reach RS or RS2 On Sat, 6 Mar 2021 at 23:53, Greg Troxel wrote: >
