RTK GNSS Rover Kit with cm Accuracy for Surveying and Mapping

RTK multi-band GNSS Development Kit on ZED-F9P High Precision GNSS receiver with centimeter accuracy. Helix Antenna on SMA connector, USB-C connector and 1/4" thread mount, IP67 waterproof case. Wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi operation, 3xAA internal power supply. Base or Rover operation. Multi-band receiver delivers centimeter-level accuracy in seconds. Designed for surveying, mapping and navigation. Supported different antenna and wireless connectivity options.

With the GNSS Development Kit you will have everything you need to start your surveying, mapping and navigation tasks with RTK and centimeter level accuracy. You can use your preferred Android application to connect with GNSS DK by Bluetooth or use u-blox center GPS Evaluation Software to connect directly to ZED-F9P high precision GNSS module over USB-C.

GNSS DK ensures the security of positioning and navigation information by using secure interfaces and advanced jamming and spoofing detection technologies. It comes with built-in support for standard RTCM corrections, supporting centimeter-level navigation from local base stations or from virtual reference stations (VRS) in a Network RTK setup.

Logging

Logging for OpenStreetMap and GPS exchange: GNSSDK support GPX format to store track and waypoints (press WP key to store waypoint) with centimeter precision. GPX files can be directly used in many tracking and mapping applications.

Logging for RINEX: Record RAW data, position and base correction logs in Ublox RAW format. Please download free RTKLIB code and manual for PPP applications. Please use OPUS or other online services to get centimeter-precise results in any place of the Earth.

Logging and other tasks are independent processes and can be used simultaneously. On 2GB internal SD card up to 14+ days of logging at 1Hz can be stored.

Connectivity

GNSS DK provide data in standard NMEA that is used by most GIS applications. Kit utilize mikroBUS™ socket, allowing to use different wireless modules, depending of the application. Several mikroBUS™ Bluetooth modules supported now, WiFi modules support will follow. Direct access to the ZED-F9P GNSS module on USB-C connector allow to use u-blox center GPS Evaluation Software for many applications.

Base station

GNSS DK needs a base station as a source of corrections for centimeter accuracy in RTK and PPK. Base might be either NTRIP/VRS service or another GNSS DK. Please download and install Lefebure NTRIP client for Rover applications and YCServer for Base applications.

Power

GNSS DK powered from 3xAA rechargeable batteries, we recommend to use Eneloop Pro or similar batteries, as supplied with the Kit. Typical logging time up to 12 hours, Kit can be charged from wall USB charger, computer or power bank.

Antenna

GNSS DK can be used with any external active GNSS L1/L2 antenna with SMA connector. Depending of the application, Helix antenna, Survey antenna or ANN-MB antenna can be used.

Environment

GNSS DK designed in small IP67 waterproof case 150x88x34 size and 300g weight and can be used in harsh environment. Case have 1/4" thread mount, allowing to use any typical camera monopod or tripod. 1/4" to 5/8" thread convertor included to use with survey equipment.

Applications

GNSS DK can be used with any your favorite GPS/GNSS application on Android smartphones/tablets in order to get centimeter level accuracy. You only need to setup your device to use mock location for Android. We have tested it with the following popular applications:

• Google Maps
• Odk Collect
• SW Maps
• Mapit Spatial
• OsmAnd

also with different land survey and topographic applications:

• Mobile Topographer GIS
• Apglos Survey Wizard
• TcpGPS
• FieldGenius

also with different industrial applications:

• MachineryGuide
• AgriBus-NAVI
