"Good day Darius

I will gladly provide you a unit.

I have setup a CORS system in Namibia as there is no CORS system there. My brother is a professional land surveyor there. Initially we it was for our own use but we have given everyone access to…"

Startup to gps fix in 2.4 seconds and gps fix to RTK fix in 47.1 seconds I will create a separate blog for the L1 gps units after my meeting…"

"Good day RPM

I hear what you say,

I am not trying to get into an argument. If you look at the data posted here it is comparing a RTK capable device to a autonomous device. The U-Blox they use for comparison is not capable of doing RTK

L1 has been…"

"Good day Bernardo

I am not trying to get into any argument, I had a look at my data which I will forward to you at some stage. I achieve full RTK lock in less than 60 seconds, on average around 27 seconds. This is faster thank any of the survey…"

2. As above RTK Fixed position in under 60 seconds
3. I do not have…"

"Good day to you

Sorry I forgot to add that by using a specific GEOID file accuracy in Z is very good especially after apply Helmert and doing a local transformation on my unit. If you have access to precision benchmarks the accuracy is even better"

"Good day to you

The U-Blox NEO 7N is not capable of doing RTK. I have developed a unit using a U-Blox LEA 6 T that does RTK.
Tests conducted using a motor vehicle comparing it to survey grade receivers (Leica SRX500, Geomax ZPG800, Leica 1200,…"
